So it is presently 104 outside. My DS has his first all star baseball game tonight starting in 2 hours. Its supposed to be 109 by then. I really hope the players don't get heat stroke!

My kids used to play ball in Bangkok so comparable temps. Make sure that you have plenty of sports drinks to hydrate the inside and cool (but not freezing cold) water to pour over DS. It does help. A wet towel on their neck when off the field is a must as well. Oh, and don't forget to take care of yourself → that is really easy to do (and you don't have to ask how I know ) Good luck to DS with his big game

There aren't heat index regulations? There are for high school sports.

I'd post a link to DH's weather station but I'm pretty sure that t-dog would hurt me! Wall 'o fog is rolling in.
Make sure DS drinks SOME energy drinks to get that electrolyte replacement.

My 29-mile bike ride a few weeks ago was in average of 94 degrees although it was 107 when I finished in a little over 3 hours. (My Garmin told me that.). Started out with coffee, fueled by lots of waster, bananas and a couple of packets of caffeine-spiked glucose.
I'd find playing ball much harder. At least there's air circulating when you bicycle!

The biggest river in AZ is the Colorado but its delta is in CA just south of Yuma. It used to end in the Gulf of Mexico until we stole the water.

How was the game? They played great - took second place in the TOC and now we are at the semi-final game of All Stars. Baseball never ends!

His team sucked so they didn't make playoffs. Now we have 8 weeks off until fall ball starts. ... I have a love/hate relationship with baseball season..

Abby Normal - I totally hear you! As soon as All Stars is over boy will be doing tournaments with a travel team. Oh and then there is soccer that has to fit around baseball. I finally quit the board for little league, next year I am just watching games and NOTHING else!

It's warm here, been in the 80's. And it's July and Boston still has a big ass pile of garbage ridden SNOW that still hasn't melted. In July.

Germany is just ending a heatwave. We don't have air conditioning over here, and the temps have been at 100 or close to it for weeks. Now it is starting to get back to normal though things are still a bit hotter than usual. Normally we get a few weeks of good summer weather then things go back to the 60s and rainey. We haven't had much rain at all, and the temps so high that the autobahn is being torn up in some places from people driving too fast. Thank god the end is near. Hopefully this means we have another mild winter. I am putting central heat and air on the top of my list of things I miss from the united states.

If it was over 90 at the scheduled start of the event, it was delayed until it got below 90 or 6pm. At 6pm, the event went on, regardless of heat. I bet 80% of the time when we got delayed, it was still over 90 at 6pm, so all they accomplished was making us sit around for 2-3 hours in 90deg heat before the event.

It was 53 and people were wearing coats on the train platform this morning. We supposed to get up to a whopping 74. I'm hot blooded so not complaining. Heck, I even turned the ceiling fan off last night (our windows are open though). Only sucky thing is my veggie garden is just...existing. Nothing is really taking off.

Well it was actually so windy last night I had to bust out a jacket. Sadly the dream of playing in Williamsport ended with a 3-0 loss. My boy is crushed but not so crushed that he didn't immediately announce intentions of going to watch his friends on the 10-11 team play tonight.

We may have gotten as low as 70ºF here, last night, but not much lower. Really I don't know how low it got. What I do know is that my central air ran all night and it was set at 78.
