Hot!

It’s due to hit 90°F today in formerly-temperate NY state. There are “Deadly Heat Wave” headlines on the news. I went for a long walk and was hot, tired and sweaty when I got back. While doing what we can to avoid overheating, I think it’s good also to do what we can to adjust ourselves to the heat. Hiding in heavily air-conditioned spaces, then going out into the blazing heat, is I think especially bad for our bodies. We don’t have air conditioning where we live now, but when we did, on very hot days we only set the AC at about 80°, not 65° or something, in the interest of both energy savings and good health.
