Here we go. With a certified heat wave, naturally the news outlets have to trot out their hoary weather cliches. This one amounts to: Stay cool and take it easy, as if we'd never been through this before:
If you must be out:
_ Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours.
_ Cut down on exercise.
Gotcha. But since I intend to follow one of the other pieces of advice -- Stay indoors in an air-conditioned place if possible -- it's kinda moot. I predict that sometime this week, we will also see some news outlet in town do a piece on what it's like to work in the Edy's ice-cream freezer. And we'll see a photo of an outside thermometer, but ONLY if the temperature hits 100 or better; wouldn't want to waste a shot like that on a mere two digits.
