Heat

It looks like we're in for a hot one today. The temperature is rising so fast that I can stand and watch the tenths-place on the (digital) thermometer change. The predicted high for the day is 95, and the heat index is expected to surpass 100 easily. I suspect the beach will be packed, numerous parents will loose their children, and I'll come home absolutely exhausted. I much preferred the cold and stormy conditions we had on Monday; lightning kept us closed for much of the day, and no one returned to the water afterwards. I figure I got paid a dollar a minute for the time I was actually working. I suppose the slow days and the insane days balance each other out.
