It's been in the hundreds here in Pocatello for a couple of weeks nows. The fire rating is "Explosive."

Lots of folks at the city pool, some even swimming in the much-polluted river.

I wear a short sleeved shirt, a bolo tie or no tie at all, no undershirt, lightweight pants, and try to spend as much time as possible in A/C. If walking I try to make use of all possible shade: trees, even light poles and street signs. At night in my un-A/Ced abode I sleep with two fans on me and a bottle of water by the bed.

And water, water, water.

(Today, for the first time in weeks, it's rained some.)
