I have problems with hear exhaustion — the meds I take. Fortunately, I'm not the roofer, although I have done that awful job in the past. Me?? I'm indoors with the air conditioning.

I know Texas heat first-hand. I lived there most of my youth, and attended and taught at UT Austin. I still have friends there (Austin) who tell me the heat is worsening. Climate change? You bet. Jack
