Subject: RE: Tips from Texas to the UK for beating the heat
We're into our first official heat wave of the Summer.. defined as 4 days of 90F in a row. It's expected to last another week. It may make an actual 100F tomorrow.

In the 1950s, I delivered newspapers in 100+ weather a few times.. And in about 1952, it was about 102 when my Mom & I got on a train to go visit her brother in San Diego. We spent a week there in balmy 75º weather... then got back on the train and stepped off in Wichita to 104º!! Yeah, we had some hot Summers, but I never read about this widespread heat all over the world.

   Nervous? Yup...
