I'm working outside in this heat wave. Morning temps in the 80's and
humidity about the same. Also absolutely no wind and that's the worst
part. Then temps rising to the mid-90's and heat index lately often
110 F or so. It's not a fun life. You walk out in this to your car is
one thing. Try working outside in it for hours. We start early and
leave by 11am. I hate to quit that early but that's survival.
