It's Not Hot !

Wanna know what hot is? Go to a desert. There are no air-conditioned trains, office buildings, or department stores. The sun's surface temperature is 6000 degrees C. Now that's hot !

Fortunately, the sun and the Earth are conveniently located so as to provide that narrow window of temperatures that supports life on our planet.

I used to play tennis for 6 hours on a hot summer afternoon under cloudless skies. Did I get hot and sweat? Unequivocally ! But I knew a cold drink and shower awaited. Besides, I was having too much fun to notice the heat. So why get upset?

By the way, sweating is important, as the evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to the latent heat of evaporation of water.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say, "It's hot !"...I'd be rich.
I love summer. This is life. Energy is everywhere. Go to a park and see it, feel it, or join it.

Lyrics from an old Beatle's song sums it up:

"When the sun shines, they slip into the shade. And sip their lemonade."

But I want to say "thank you" to all the people who complain about the heat.
It means there will be less people in the park to get in the way of my frisbee.
