As I have sat here under cloudy skies the past few days I've actually been thankful to have such overcast conditions after taking a look at what the rest of the country is going through.  If you are in one of those areas make certain that you are drinking lots of water and take whatever steps you can to avoid heat stroke, etc.  So often we look at survival as dealing with world-changing cataclysmic events, but often the mundane like summer heat is a greater threat.
