The Bedouin experiment
A hunert years, or so, ago during some sociology class I remembered the the Bedouins nomadic tribes of the Sinai wore dark colors while most of the other nomadic tribes wore light/white. Just remembered. Don't know why.
Saturday at a Little League game, I selected Black for a Bedouin experiment, ... to test it. Obviously, my partner went along with it since I was wearing the gear, how much could it hurt?
U.P. here 80 is rare, and we were at 89. Partner's feet were hot.
I had a sleeveless interawear "V" under my stuff, and every now and then, a little puff of air would blow through my stuff like an air-conditioner. Not bad at all.
After the game was the problem.
When I took off my stuff and got to the interawear, I could hardly stand far enough away from that smelly thing to get it away from me.
