Thank you, going to be high 80s-low 90s. I do not fare well it heat but at least it won’t be over 100.

Older people can’t handle heat well. I remember there was a very unusual heat wave in France some years ago, and many elderly died of the heat. Most don’t have A/C there.

I remember reading about that tragedy in France.

I bought this, well worth the money, a cooling blanket.

Living in Vegas I know about heat! I’ve always loved it but find that as I’ve reached 65 I can’t handle it like I used to. Same with my husband. Ironically, he complains when the air conditioner is running that it’s too cold in the house.

Hope you are feeling better.

I used to love the heat...the hotter the better...not so much anymore.
summer of 1995 in chicago was a booger.

41 unclaimed in the city morgue.
I always wondered why they didn’t draw cool\cold baths and sit in the tub awhile...

We didn’t have AC in this house back then. I tried a combo of window a/c units and fans and the heat overwhelmed them.
This is where my daughter jumped up and screamed, “Go buy central a/c and figure out how to pay for it later”.
Too funny. But we eventually did.

In the meantime, I made GROK throw up by catching it in a bunch of stats conflicts on that particular heat wave...

stay safe, kiddo.
