Trust me Tom - I've spent most of my 35 years living in Texas, including Houston (where I'm from). Summer here is light years better than in Texas. Check weather.com - it's 73 here now with a high today in the low 80's. Sure, it's a little humid, but if you are a Texan (from Houston) it's not bad. It makes a big difference when the temps cool down at night, which they don't do down there. I recall many a summer night in Austin where the overnight low temp stayed in the mid-high 80's. It just doesn't do that here. We've only had a few days so far this year where the mosquito's were out of control. But yes, that is a problem here during the summer time.

Of course, Minneapolis also has Canterbury Park, although I've only been about 4 times since I moved here 8 months ago...
