Some tips for staying healthy this sweltering summer

After being a bit cranky about the cool and cloudy spring that lasted through most of June, I’m now on the other end of the grouchy scale of hot and humid.

I know this is coming, and I wouldn’t go near a swimming pool with out this H & H weather, but it sure is uncomfortable. Besides being sticky and sweaty, we (so far) have avoided a heat wave. The Southwest and extreme South of this country have experienced the intensity of a heat wave this summer. The last week of April saw temperatures equal to those typically seen in late July and August hit Portugal, Morocco, Spain and Algeria; populations there were unprepared for the extreme heat so early in the season and unprepared with cooling equipment or fans.
