Ghetto Cat Loop/Levy Loop

It may be too late, considering whatever my behavior through 51 and a half years have reduced me to, but I have begun an attempt to improve my heat tolerance. Furthermore, the attempt may end at the beginning. I walked the Ghetto Cat Loop this afternoon, beginning at about 1:15 p.m., with the temperature and heat index at 100 and 110, respectively, in 31:30. Earlier I broke a sweat hitting five 7-irons into my backyard net. Heck, it's too hot for the cats. All three are inside.

I walked the Levy Loop, starting at 5 p.m. Central, in 29:07. About 15 minutes into my walk, rain started to fall, increasing from a light sprinkle to a wind-strewn, thunder-swept, scary torrent by 5:30. It rained until 7. Power was out in Levy until 8. My neighbors and I walked into our yards to ask, "Is your electricity off?" I drove on F Street in Park Hill and saw a light pole blown down, and a tree fallen across someone's Ford pickup. I was happy to see when the lights came on that the Reds led the Pirates, 3-0.
