[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 786409, member: 13556"] I've worked in hotter temperatures than that, too. But now that I'm in my sixties and don't have to, I don't. Especially when the humidity is as high as it is here. I lived in Sacramento in the late 1980s and it was my first exposure to "dry heat" and it wasn't as unpleasant to be outside without the humidity. Where it got me into trouble was that I didn't realize how much I was getting dehydrated until it was way-way late. (An old Survival School saying I remember was "Ration your sweat, not your water.") As far as not taking photos around here when it's that hot, yeah, I'm wimping out somewhat, but fighting the heat, humidity and the tourists is not worth it. I'm more selective about my subjects, too; and if they aren't cooperating, the diminished returns just aren't worth it. [/QUOTE]
