It's burning up!!!

We are burning up here in South Korea! In India and Pakistan many people were killed due to long heat waves. I am sure we will hear in the news about some elderly people who have expired due to this humid heat. The temperatures are about the same as they are in Lucknow India. The thing is it is a mixture of humidity, and heat. Witth so much moisture in the air, humans have a hard time cooling off. Exessive sweating but no real cooling, means that you lose even more fliuds with no benefit. 

I am a bit worried....in this kind of heat it might be best to stay off of beaches. Many people are heading to valleys where there is a lot of natural shade, cool winds from the surrounding mountains. 
Oh  yeah and don't forget the mountain streams, and small rivers. I need to talk to my best friend but...we are all so busy. In the evening when we finally do have time..we are so tired. This heat saps strength. Usually I play eve for about 1.5 hours, sometimes 2 hours. Now? I can barely stand 30-40 minutes. Also I find that I am sleeping more. Usually I sleep 4 to 5 hours, now 6 to 7. I think my body likes this new change, but I do not. 

The boys are taking it well. Both of them walk about with out a shirt on (copying me). They sleep soundly, and their patterns have not been put off due to this heat. Today I will get a haircut....this hair...ugh I feel like I have a sweater on my head!

So take care out there, it's hotter than hell!!!

I can't wait till the winter rolls around!
