I do not believe I have ever lived through a hotter summer. This is both atmospherical and situational for me; in addition to the high 90s on the thermometer, my two primary tasks for the last several weeks have been repairing the church’s large asphalt parking lot and stripping the roof over our home garage and replacing it with metal roofing.
I have drunk gallons of fluid each day and still lost nearly 10 pounds, all while eating like a moose to try and keep my weight up.
I know that others can feel the heat as well. Many of you work outside for a living; others work in sweltering factories; still others have found that the AC only breaks when it is most needed.
I have no control over the weather, no sway with any of your factory bosses, and only limited skill in HVAC work, so I am afraid I will not be of much help in physically cooling any of you down. But may I, at least with pen and paper, at least get you in a cooler mindset?
Here goes.
