Heat
- Thread starter steve from staten island

Myself I never could stand the heat. Always loved the winter as you could escape the heat by going inside. Working in a garage in and out of oil grease and dirt, the only relief was a test drive in a customer's car. Later it would be working as an LEO and that hot ballistic vest. Thankful that we had AC in the car, just to dry off the sweat. Worst was while in SWAT, with an even heavier ballistic vest with black BDUs on, charging up dark stairs, and kicking down a door. Then being in a garbage smelling inner city rat hole of an apartment, standing security till vice could secure the scene. After retirement at fifty four, I went on to servicing commercial signs and lights. That to was hot work too. More than once I came close to heat stroke out in that direct sunlight. At sixty-six I had it, been retired for a year now. And yes I have AC in my garage..... Life is good.

If you are not on high ground think about moving. The ocean is rising. You still have time.

No you don't, the END IS HERE!!!!!
EEK--the end is now??? Should I run screaming in a panic?
I see lots of folks doing just that and that contribution is not only without a value it is a huge problem that just adds fuel to a harmful fire we all feel the heat from.

For mere humans, a parasite on this planet, to presume to understand how global climate works is ludicrous. There must be billions of variables involved. If we understood it that well we would be managing it ourselves and creating the weather we want, or rather, using it as a weapon like everything else we discover.

I retired from the Highway Patrol after 25 years. Luckily I could stay in my car for a lot of the time BUT on the tarman investigating a wreck or two at rush hour was brutal. No fun at all...Ice storms were bad too....I feel for all you guys that work outside with no shelter.
