12. Lawd have mercy!

The closest I've come to that was the few months I rented a room while in college. My Singaporean landlady rigged the central AC such that no air conditioning ever reached my room (which was on the second floor). I moved out with the help of a mediator so as to avoid having to pay for the whole year, and that was the last time I've rented a room (knock wood).

My father had a heart attack last month, partly due to this heat wave. He's all right; he's always had a strong constitution, and recovered quickly - but no more long walks in the sun!

I ran track in high school, am still in pretty good shape, and I still get these awful headaches walking around in this heat for anything more than 5 minutes. Downright tropical.
