My physiological heat control circled the bowl in SEA and only got worse when I lived down South for a few years in MS and LA. I hate the cold and I hate the heat. I'm only comfortable between the temperatures of 68 and 80 degrees which means I probably should move to Hawaii. :) That's how my wife is, and she bitches when it gets out of that range. Funny thing is she's slim, and when I slim up heat hardly bothers me at all. I think a lot of it is psychological, maybe based on experience. Not to say your thermostat can't get messed up. I know I can control a lot of the "discomfort" by setting my state of mind, and using a few tricks. Maybe because I spent years in a 120 degree boiler room and then spent some years almost as hot as a heat treater, then some years working outside in record cold winters. Gives your mind something to work with when the temps are a bit hot or cold. Then your body catches up. A cool drink or hot toddy does help. Those are tricks. Still haven't found a good trick to stop her bitching though. --Vic Humidity will make that heat worse. Coming back from June Lake today, and as we come down on 120 from Yosemite the temp is reading 102. Got dinner and fuel in Oakdale. 106 at 5pm. Was hot, but not as bad as when I lived in Dayton, OH or Biloxi, MS. June lake was about 70, but windy until yesterday. We canoed June Lake yesterday. One trout caught and released. Stopped at Saddlebag Lake and fished this morning. Is just outside the Eastern entrance to Yosemite. Caught and released one trout and had a drive by. Hit the bait and snagged the line in the rocks. Got snag loose, but no fish. Is at tree line, and still snow at lake level. a month ago when we came through Yosemite there was 3' of snow at Tuolumne Meadows. |
