Trying to imagine that has just broken my brain a bit.

Trying to imagine that has just broken my brain a bit.

In a few months it'll be down to single digits. 1% humidity is common. That breaks my whole body. I'm a beach girl, I need 60-70% humidity to be comfortable.

There's not much that can be done other than to hold onto a bottle of ice water like a baby clings to a security blanket, and drink from it constantly. I drink so much I feel like a walking water balloon.

The desert is a place for dirt and a few very rugged plants and critters and not much else. Single digit humidity destroys everything: your skin, hair, eyes, nose, lungs, throat, car interiors, furniture, anything kept outdoors, leather clothes and shoes, chicken coops, storage tubs, wood anything, tires, horse tack (a lot of tack rooms are climate-controlled for that reason), nest boxes - everything. It's a year-round battle to maintain things and try to keep them from being ruined.

It's not so bad if you can climate control your entire home and garage all year but not many people can afford those kinds of utility bills. I've been in those homes, though - they are comfy!
