Heat exhaustion

Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symptoms and cure here.

Muddy thinking and slow relexes too. Yesterday a woman backed into me in the convenience store parking lot. Normally, she would have seen me and stopped. Or I would have honked the horn or backed out of her way. Not yesterday. Minor cosmetic damage but a pain.

the ultimate comfort food.

Film Review THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

Rarely does the third film of a trilogy surpass the first two. This one delivers in a mighty way. THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM features extremely fast cutting, some of the fastest I have seen, and includes some lyrical choreographed montage. The action sizzles without a break. The audience in the theater expressed their approval by clapping when the film ended.
