    Can you tell that my avatar is me playing on a 7701 foot hill? After a bit of global warming, of course.

    Isn't 10,000 widely considered to be the highest comfortable altitude for sustained human activity? By comparison, I live 22' above sea level. 22' + the actual height of that hill... I would say that makes it about 40' above sea level.

    Oh the humidity!! I loved Florida... but hated- hated!!- the water in the air! If I want to drown, I'll jump in a swimming pool.

    Isn't 50% widely considered to be the highest relative humidity for sustained human activity?
