Thanks for your concern, Rich.
Yes, I am fine. But I can't help but lament how poorly my body handles even moderate temperature extremes now. Back in 1971 I spent 3 summer months on an archaeology dig (at Cahokia – I know you have a good grasp of American archaeology so I think you know about Cahokia.) near St. Louis. The temperature was in the 90s and low 100s and the humidity was usually 90% or higher - didn't bother me a bit. But I was 21 years old then and in near peak physical condition.
I've read that the human body reaches its physical peak at around age 25 – it's all downhill from there. I just had no idea how steep that downhill slope would be.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
