alf, you must live by me, I live in Texas and have experienced this heat wave first hand, I work outside 70% of the time, in 1980, I was working in a lumber yard at the age of 15 when the heat wave hit, I remember it well, alas, the other day I awoke to a rain shower (saturday) the 13th, I had to drive to work in it and it was horrible, now we are back on the heat, what do you do!
