Someplace in the Southeast that is VERY humid, I'm guessing. Where are you, OakLeaf? Ugh.
Mimi, riding this morning must not have been too bad. This afternoon, going back up your hill....Oh, well, at least it's a relatively short trip.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

This was outside Columbus, Ohio. Humidity was around 50% during the warmest part of the day yesterday.
Temps like that, with higher humidity, would be normal in an ordinary year, but it's been very cool this year and no one's acclimated. Which was my point. A temperature and humidity that seems quite comfortable to some people (including me, and I don't live that far away from there), can threaten other people's health.
The area where the bank center is, is a prime example of urban sprawl, so I very much doubt there was a covered parking lot where they could get "out of the sun." I'm sure some of them probably sat in their cars with the engines and A/C running...
This is a guess, but it's pretty likely there wasn't water available, which couldn't have helped anything.Last edited by OakLeaf; 07-29-2009 at 07:48 AM.
