Wow. 88 degrees is high heat. 49 people were hospitalized and one died. Wow. All of 88 degrees.

Yah but climitization is key....

Get someone from Alaska in 70 degree weather and he might have a stroke... get a Texan in 15 degree weather and he might freeze to death... but visa versa... they are having a party.

Yeah, I know. It's just crazy that a "heat-wave" is 88 degrees.

Well, 88 degrees, high humidity, no breeze and stifling concrete jungle heat absorption is much worse than we're accustomed to here. Besides, Texans are genetically superior. :cool:
