Hotter than hell

We are on day three of a horrific heat wave that has the heat index here in the hundreds and the temps bordering a hundred. It is not fit for man or beast, not to mention women and dogs. It’s hard to get motivated to do anything, but this morning I took the dogs for their walk around the bayou, then dropped off dog #1 and took dog #2 for a more thorough walk and lesson through City Park, and then it was time for my bike ride since I am going to miss two Sundays and the MS 150 mile bike ride is nearing. I was out there riding and thought I was just going to pass out but thankfully I had PowerAde with me. That has been the ticket to surviving the heat – electrolites – I thought it was all a bunch of hooey but it’s not.

In the meantime, I am going to go do a rain dance and hope that we can get a break.
