And my power just went out. They "hope" to have it fixed by 9.

Here's a stay cool tip.
Usually working cattle I wear leather work gloves and a ball cap. When it's this hot, 100+ in the shade. I won't bother with gloves or hat. Traps too much heat and leather work gloves get me into trouble a lot faster than the hat will. It's pretty easy to get into trouble in this heat so after working cattle on trailer I'll head for cold water and run over my wrist, hands and face. Cold water over wrists will cool you out a lot aster than cold water on face. |

the right hat can help, the wrong hat cause cause hell. Even though they look goofy those light weight straw hats (think panama jack style) do help. What you want is to block the sun but still allow air to get out. Solid hats trap air and do not help.
Wearing a rag (do rag for the melamonically priviledged) soaked in ice water under the hat can do wonders. Direct sunlight is your enemy, allowing air to circulate is your ally. Of course your bestest friend in the world is drinking as much fluids as you can handle, well, maybe a bit of moderation... BTW, I am walking 7 1/2 - 10 miles a day in this shit. Thank gawd for refridgerators and cold beer when I get home.... |

Quoted: Just lost power and have ten or so family members coming in four hours for dinner. This could get real ugly. A couple of them can not handle this heat. This is why it's always nice to have an inexpensive window unit stashed in the basement. Best of luck to you. Hey, here's a thought. Go to the mall and make a day of it. See a movie, eat lots of junk food, shop for whatever, adopt a pet, get your nails done, etc.  |

Broke my mower trying to get the back lawn jungle back into compliance with the county. Almost broke myself finishing off the 'fill hole' by hand with a hedge trimmer and weed whacker. I get to go mower shopping with my pistol money on Friday.
It seems that dealing drugs - while frowned upon - is less aggressively enforced than the 8" rule... |
