Well, the Texas Heat is back and do not mean the team. I
was doing the AFA State tournament this weekend. Saturday
mornings 8:30a.m. game, temp 89, heat index 103. I was plate
and game scheduled for 1:15 went just shy of 2hrs. Already
feeling woozy when I started the second of 2 on 1 off schedule.
Got to the bottom of the 1st and heat got me. Went down and
after all was said and done, it took four + bags of fluids and
six hours in the ER to get me on my feet. My remaining seven
scheduled games were history. I thought I was drinking plenty
of liquids. I was also using aromatic ammonia water and had wet
towel around my neck during game.

Any of you coming to Beaumont for the Nationals 26th July start
drinking water and fluids now. I know several are coming in from
OK and CA.

Any other suggestions will be appreciated.
