103 in the Shade

[VictorBravo]

And at 7 PM, 114F in the shed I was working in.



I love Eastern Washington in the summer. I was scything feral rye the other day in the 102 F afternoon sun. It was a pleasant sweaty break from the mundane excitement I've been having dealing with dependency and murder cases.

Heat and rhythmic exertion: it reminds me that the sweat of the brow is a gift despite being a curse.

More power to ya. After a close call with heat stroke, I've not been able to tolerate high temps as well as I could before.

Heat stroke and even heat exhaustion are serious. I had it in my twenties and it took a while to get back into the swing of things. I stay well hydrated and never push beyond a moderately elevated breathing pace when working in this kind of heat.

It's been about 12 or 13 years and to this day I still get nauseous, weak, and fatigued on very hot and humid days. And this in hardly any time at all. Could be I'm managing my hydration poorly.
