I think this is the hottest June of my life. It is not unusual to have scorcher days in July & August, but this is becoming the new norm. Everyday holds a heat index of 100-plus-degrees, and the summer has really just begun! Already, a good family friend of mine who works outdoors has been hospitalized with heat exhaustion. I worry about all the guys I know who make their living in the sun, my dad included. I think we’re in for a long, hot summer…gotta remember to hydrate & be sun smart. Oh, and to get our AC repaired ASAP. Can’t believe it conked today…the worst possible time of the year! Apparently we are waiting in a long line of desperate, sweaty homeowners. Fingers crossed that we get a phone call & some good news in the morning!
Running outside has become impossible, even when getting up & out by 6am. The air is soup, the sun only cooks it. This week brought a return to the campus gym and the trusty treadmill. Not the most interesting way to run, but it feels so good to be moving my body again! : – )
What happened to all the idiots that were slamming Al Gore during the cold winter? Does the hot summer now prove Gore is correct?
Good thing we have the bikes.
Ha! True, and true.
