Heat Wave

 

I do my fair share of whining here when there is an approaching snow storm.  I can take the cold.  Just bring out the puffy coat outside, and put an extra blanket on the bed inside.  Snow is a different story.  It's dangerous.  Snow is tough to drive in, and you can get hurt shoveling it.

I'm beginning to feel the same way about heat.  No, it's easy to drive in.  But, there are other dangerous.  Overloaded electrical circuits.  Heat stroke.  People who overestimate their swimming skills.  Serious sun burns.

There is a heat wave in this week's forecast.  You know what to do.  Stay out of the sun.  Stay hydrated.  Keep an eye on kids, the elderly and pets.  Limit exposure to hot cars.  Even though its common sense, there will be a good deal of problems this week.

Bring on autumn.
