I had to reread your post a couple from time. I was getting ready to Google 'missery' to see were it was. I kept saying Warrensburg is in Missouri but where is missery. It dawned on me how you post some times.

It is good to know that your humidity is not like ours. Thursday it is suppose to be 101*.

Awww... BNF .. you don't want to move to the wet, mossy side of the state. Come live by me! Here in Yakima our average humidity is ~50%

I'm telling ya, I live in the desert on purpose!

We were out walking along the river in Woodinville this afternoon. It was only in the low seventies, but sooooo humid. We were sweating.

I thought Washington did not have humidity. I was hoping to get away from it when we move there.

We have it so rarely, we suffer all out of proportion. You'd have hardly noticed it.

It's not like the humidity you get there. That is stifling. We took a road trip across the country in 2005, and were complaining of the heat and humidity. We stopped in Twin Falls Idaho, and when we pulled the luggage out of the back of the Odyssey, it was damp. We blamed Alex for spilling his water which he denied. We stopped at parks and rest stops to fix our meals, letting the kids run around. Every evening our luggage was wetter. When we crossed the Rockies it was like hitting a wall of water, I'd never experienced humidity like that! At rest stops, people only got out of their cars to use the bathrooms and we ate our meals in the car. Driving past houses, we no longer saw people mowing lawns or working in their yards, yet things looked well maintained. We assumed everyone must garden in the buff in the middle of the night when it was slightly cooler. When we got to Topeka there was half an inch of standing water in the back of the car; While everyone slept overnight I'd be washing all our luggage contents. DH is not mechanically inclined. To solve the problem, we bought garbage bags and rubbermaid totes to keep our stuff in. The water would always drain out over night. By Kentucky we had several inches of water. I thought it has something to do with the AC, but DH was dumbfounded, although he did stop blaming the kids, we did not carry that many drinks with us. Luckily a friend of mine in Maryland knew exactly what it was. He uncloggged the drainlines for the AC and shampooed the back of the car for us. In all the photos of that trip, my kids look like they just stepped out of the shower, they are soaked in sweat. Especially bad in St. Louis, Mammoth Caves in Kentucky (cave felt great), The BlueRidge Parkway and Jamestown. The trip was to surprise a good friend of mine on her 40th. They live in Maryland, and said it was the most humid weather they ever experienced. So humid that the pans under their AC unit in the attic were overflowing with condensation and the water was steadily trickling through the ceiling to the room below.

My mother had a trailer (horse) in the back - last year. DH sat on top of it and shot 12 (yes TWELVE) skunks as they came out from under an old out-building on the back 40. I made him strip to his "almost" skivvies before he came in the house...he stunk so bad. I don't think there is a worse smell.

I am still worried there were skunk babies with the adult....I did not check the adult's sex or teets........

I have heard horror stories about Mama skunks moving in under homes with 6-8 kits..............ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
I cannot imagine the stink you had from your DH shooting so many skunks!!
Holy Cow!!!

When I was a teen, we had a family living under our deck, and they would spray whenever there were more than a couple people walking ing the deck above them, like at parties. My dad tried to block them out before their big 25th anniversary party by surrounding the deck with chicken wire. He trapped them under the deck! Boy did that party stink!
