I am thinking there is a limit to what the body can endure and your are dangerously close to hypothermia.
I did say it wasn't the smartest thing I did, after all! :) At least I wasn't completely idiotic - there were people watching, towels & a bonfire to hand. Hurt like hell getting in, too, like a whole-body toothache.

I am unfortunately aware of how it feels. You obviously survived! I do like my water temp just on the cool side somewhere around 80F. It is enough to cool you down a bit but not too warm. 90F sucks because you don't feel refreshed at all!

Glad you survived your 'fun' too.

Sounds like you found the right place for you to be - I do prefer swimming in cooler water, but not liquid ice. Upper-60's F is just about perfect for me, given bright sun & warm air. Which, contrary to current conditions, actually DOES happen in upstate NY - just not currently.
 
Seems to me, Florida gets hosed on the regular, with hurricanes, sinkholes, and critters. Many places on the world can get worse - looking at you, Australia! :) - but the amount of effort needed to keep living there is high.

Upstate NY, where I've lived my life, requires lots of effort as well, plowing snow, repairing roads, occasional tornadoes, etc - but I wonder if anyone's ever looked at the effort needed to live in various places and tried to do an apples-to-apples comparison. Complicated to do it right, lots of noise in the numbers from population migration, tech change, climate change, etc.

(And this has been your irregularly scheduled Curiosity Moment from Inside U.P.'s Head.... Back to your normal scheduled events!)

With Climate Change you have to choose your abode carefully. We just had two hurricanes blow thru here in the Tampa area and they are still cleaning up. When I lived in a nice area in PA we were stuck in the house for days because it took that long for them to clear the road. I am watching the fires in CA and else where.

I have to agree but our pools seem to stay between 85 and 95
 
I didn't even get on hardly yesterday o_O I'm fired!! Sorry I missed this morning too! Happy Wednesday!!

:giggle: That's life. Sometimes real life takes over and you haven't got the time to be here. It happen to all of us.
I hope you have a great Wednesday!
