I was in school today getting ready for the year. I'm so grateful children in my town don't have their 1st day until one week from today. It was plenty hot in the building ;):cool:

That's a relief. Can't tell you how much I had to restrain myself, not to say anything negative against your "bored" comment, earlier this summer!! :p

Hate the heat. Hate the heat. We've got another day or two of this insane heat wave -- heat index above 100 degrees. Yesterday, stepped outdoors at lunchtime, and it felt like a wall of heat hit me. :jawdrop: Lasted less than a minute out there, and went right back inside! (Hospital ED has ramped up even more the past few days, knowing that heat-related cases would be brought in. Yesterday, Boston EMS responded to over 100 calls for heat incidents.)

Aw, I can't like that! When we were in our heat wave, there were several people at work that had to go home with heat-related illnesses. I hope it cools down soon!

Yah, it was dangerous heat for a stretch there. Finally cooled down last night.

I always wondered how come temperatures that are normal down here in the summer become dangerous heat up north. I can accept an argument that in the south AC is much more universal, but, that doesn't explain the hundreds of years before AC was invented. Whole populations survived extreme heat, and at the same time wore more clothing individually at one time the we do collectively now. Were people more acclimated or knew how to get through it or made from tougher stuff then currently. Especially since "hydration" is such an important part of today's society and back in those days you had to walk to the well to get any water at all. Just doesn't make any sense to me.

The first summer I moved down here, I will admit that I was very uncomfortable, but, never had the feeling I was in any danger. At 63, I would also have been considered part of the "elderly". It's a conundrum I tell ya!

;) Well I suppose you could also argue that normal colder temperatures up here in the winter, might be a crisis for some people farther South, if that same weather pattern showed up, along with the snow and ice.

My theory is that it comes down to individual, internal thermostats -- perhaps some people internally "register", either higher or lower than the actual temperature. I've never done well in the summer; and even as a little kid, sometimes heat made me ill. Yet, I can tolerate frigid cold, while many of the people I know, can't.

So I don't think people were necessarily heartier years ago (in either heat or cold). And maybe people who were overcome from either heat or cold, might have been inconsistently reported in the health data records--skewing the actual statistics. Although the temptation is to say that people were tougher back then, I question whether that was always the case. Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

To conclude: It's good advice for people to drink more water in the heat (as you sweat out water--but more importantly--you also sweat out salt, which can make you collapse). Actually Gatorade is often used for overheated patients--our hospital buys it by the caseload! :p (Especially this past month when it's been unusually hot and humid for so long--it's coming off the delivery trucks on these big pallets.)
