Gary, you will probably be surprised to find out that Brownsville, Tx gets about the same amount of sunshine as Fort Wayne, In.! If you go to the government site here you will see what I mean. This site tracks the "Sunshine Days" for areas throughout the country. You get an annual average of 59 days, Texas gets 60. I'm sure the days in Texas are much hotter but the frequency is the same. Your point is still well taken...it beats living in Seattle! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
