108 yesterday and the same today. The wind kicked up yesterday, and the humidity dropped, and that’s the time folks have to be careful...the wind will suck the moisture right out of a person before they realize it’s happening.
When a person begins to feel thirsty, dehydration is already in progress.
Our Houston Scouts learned that at summer camps in the hill country on the edge of the Texas desert. I would even have to ask them how many times they had peed that day. I’d get answers like, “I think once.”
Sit yaself down and drink this right now!
Afternoon. It was “only” a little over 100 today, and supposed to be the same tomorrow. They announced at the end of the day today that there will be no outdoor sports activity (kickball and so on) tomorrow afternoon. On Friday they usually bring out a firetruck late in the day and spray them.
Today at lunchtime we got to see a car that was built by a local man to try for the world land-speed record. He said it came in just a fraction of a MPH slow, something on the order of 233 mph.
