Adventures with Heat

I visited Phoenix today to help a former Arcosanti resident with some landscaping. I worked from about 8:30 to 11:00. I was sucking on my water bottle almost constantly, but I still got too hot. Heat exhaustion isn't fun. I had to go inside and sit down with a wet towel for an hour or so before I felt alright again. After a long lunch break, I went back out and worked for another half-hour or so, but I knew I'd be in bad shape again if I pushed any farther. Arizona heat is just different than Houston heat, and I haven't really gotten acclimatized yet. It's probably a good thing I didn't sign up with the Landscaping or Agriculture departments.

Quote of the day: "Instead of Cool Brook Lane or Shady Glen Drive they should use street names like Blast Furnace Avenue." (Actually a composite of comments by several people)
