When arrested, the man said, "well, we didn't have anyplace we could go..."

Perhaps a little extra stimulation was needed.

As I recall, it wasn't a particularly warm morning.

It sounds like the women were just being efficient.

About that Florida heat. I've travelled everywhere man, all times of the year. Lived in South Florida awhile back.
Nothing, nothing beats Houston heat. It just sits on you, threatening to push you into the ground, inch by inch.

Never lived in Houston, but I lived in College Station, Texas which is not far from Houston and it was probably the hottest place I have ever lived.
That's saying a lot since I have lived in New Orleans for the past several decades. It does get hot here but at least we get lots of rain now and then. The rain breaks the heat and makes the vegetation green, lush, and growing.

You get used to it after about 30 years though.

I've lived all over Florida. The hottest summers I've experienced were in Charleston, SC. The heat, humidity and lack of breeze made for an uncomfortable combination.

We live in NE Fla, you do get used to the heat, in fact we miss it when away in colder climes, we do get a break in the winter months, but still have no snow. We are also way less crowded and have far less congestion than down south.

I've read stories of people living above the Arctic circle who break out the shorts and T shirts whenever the temps get above 30F....so I imagine humans do acclimate. I just wonder how long it takes? HAHA.

IMO St. Louis and other inland Mississippi Valley places can give houston a run for it's money. On top of that, St. Louis has no beach area to run off to. In STL, people are just stuck there. In Houston, the gulf coast is there with it's cooler breezes.

I was in Houston on a hot humid day. I've never experienced humidity and heat like that. I felt like you had to use your arms to swim though the air. Instant sweat like you jumped into a swimming pool.
FYI: I'm a Minnesota boy.

Yeah, as long as you are near the Gulf. We are 60+ miles north of the Gulf shore (still in the Houston area) and that breeze never makes it this far!
