Already 78* at 5:20 am! :roll: Heading for mid 90's again today 7/7. Please be
careful if/when doing any work outside, that you keep well hydrated. I can't
imagine anyone running in this heat/humidity. :roll: Just tell your kids and
grandkids to be very careful. My 18 yr old granddaughter got sick from heat
exhaustion last week while playing volleyball outside. :(
Also, be sure your pets have plenty of water especially if kept outside. They
too can suffer heat exhaustion. Maybe keep the hose handy for cool-downs.

I live in Northern Ky, but Ohio is just as hot/humid. Louisville, 100 miles South
is just below 100* these days. It could be worse, as the Northeast is even
hotter - over 100* for days now, as we've seen on TV news.
One older dog died yesterday in Ohio from heat exhaustion. :( Vets are
recommending bringing animals indoors from 11am until 5pm. They said if your
dog doesn't pant it's a good sign of heat exhaustion - take it to your Vet.
