It strikes me as amusing that the words "sweat" and "sweet" are a mere mistyped vowel apart.

Also, is Florida the US's version of Australia in regards to Weird Things That Can Kill You?

Florida beats Australia hands down. The weird creatures are one thing, but once you throw in our politicians … Florida for the win!

One way to deal with oppressive heat (or what we think of as oppressive heat in Connecticut): get in the car at 6 am and drive 4 hours to Baltimore for a noon Mets-Orioles game. Get there early enough to stop across the street at Pickles Pub for what the locals call an Orange Crush. I will send you the recipe and a picture of this citrus based breakfast beverage under separate cover. Sip slowly. Relax. It may be 11:18 am in Baltimore, but it is 5 o’clock somewhere.

Got the recipe and the photo, thanks. I see a Sky Juice in my future. Bahamas morning cocktail — coconut water, bit of condensed milk, lime and gin. It’ll cure what ails ya…

Bob, a simple solution is that you should become friends with someone who has a great pool and a liberal attitude about sharing adult libations. On the up side, I have a bar but sadly no pool.

That would be my younger son, who lives three blocks away. And that reminds me — I still need to have a drink at Bob Snow’s bar.

You know what’s funny about this?

I’ve even written about how I’ve always wanted to sweat in the dead of winter.

Thus, I was a snowbird on the Big island and Kawaii.

I lived in California for three years and never broke a sweat. They have a humidity shortage. Not healthy…
