Grey Market

Hi Don,

This is the unfortunate part in talking about humidity that doesn't exist.
We all see in the weather bulletins that the RH is this or that and then we
actually think that that applies to us people living inside the house.
Weather Bureau HR is measured outside in a shaded area.  lots of formula
relating to HEAT, MOISTURE CONTENT, DEW POINT, etc.

It would be nice if we were all talking on the same wavelength wouldn't it.
