"We differ, blind and seeing,
not in the nature of our handicap,

but in the understanding and idealism

and feeling behind the senses

that they attain their full value."

"Neither snow nor rain nor...

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"  -- Weather is part of what I do.

I had the opening weeks of my assignments during record temperatures.  What was the outside temperature yesterday?


I walk in all kinds of weather between assignments on any given day, but 105 yesterday?  Add the heat index, and that 105 outside felt like almost 121 degrees!  Add the humidity here, and it was like breathing syrup while I rushed around out there.

I won't discuss how hot it was INSIDE my car. I got in and out of my car between each assignment when it had been sitting in those temperatures on a concrete lot in full sun.  Can a car melt?  I don't know.  I don't know how I didn't melt!

So yeah, postal workers, I hear ya.  At least I didn't have yard dogs trying to chase me.  :-)
