Top 100 Player · Worked at Valley Presbyterian Hospital (HR Benefits Specialist) in Kingwood, TexasHi Dot. Well, as a pastor once said...I would not want to go anywhere hotter than this! Being a Cali girl, I will never get used to "wet heat" and oppressive dew points. Not a fan of high humidity...but we make the best of it. Blessed to have the pool for outdoor fun. Have a good day and fabulous weekend!
