It's because you are in the middle of the state on "higher" ground that your humidity is so low...we regularly get 95 degrees and 90% relative humidity up north of you..though admittedly, I live on a lake.

You're right, Chris. A couple days ago it got up to 98, but relative humidity dropped to about 75%. If it weren't so damn hot and wet I'd be out there shooting.

Looks like it might be a cattle loading facility.  Are/were there railroad tracks along back?  The 90/90 days are why I moved north from eastern Kansas.  One summer I worked out of Paducah, Kentucky as a pharmaceutical salesman.  I brought an extra shirt to change into every day as the one I started out in was always soaked by lunch time.

Right, Kent. It's for loading cattle. No RR, but I stopped on the road -- a back road -- to make the shot. Obviously they bring 'em in and take 'em out by truck.

When I lived in Sarasota, I mostly photographed at dusk and at night. Now that red tide has bloomed along the central-south Gulf coast, I doubt I'd be doing much photography there.
