Today is one of those hot sticky days that always tends to remind me of my great-aunt Peggy. She was quite the pessimist and back in the 60's I can remember that August was her favorite time of the year as it gave here a stage to talk about how bad these "dog days of summer" were.
Today was such a day. The morning news warned of a heat emergency that was impending upon our community. I was scheduled to run with other club members this evening at 6pm to practice for an upcoming duathlon race. When I heard the forecast this morning I changed my plans and went out for a morning run around 10am. It was already closing in on 80 degrees and the humidity must have not been much lower.
I tried to stay inside most of the day and at 4pm I checked "weather.com" for Muscatine and it was 99 and the heat index was 128. We are truly in the "dog days" of summer.
