Spent the morning helping a friend run her skulling races, after taking her to the hospital last evening because she broke her wrist trying to pull start a motor on a boat. Good day but hot - all of Puerto Rico is under a heat warning everyday for the last month or so. Now I'm sitting in the shade sipping a cold beer.

Pounded some water, and now having my second beer. Medalla Light (the island beer, there is no regular) comes in 10 oz latas, and is 4.2% perfect for all afternoon sipping.

Hanging out in my favorite shoreside tree with my little green drinking buddy.

@FireMonkey If you're in the Caribbean in this heat, your last action is definitely recommended and endorsed.

The first thing I learned from West Indians on St Croix: understand the value of shade.

And how your house receives the trade winds. Perfect house had wind so strong it knocked over lamps & pictures off the walls.

@LnzyHou We used to watch, somewhat bemused, as tourists would lie in the sun on the beach, especially midday to 3 pm. Meanwhile, we'd be running from shade awning to shade awning, or shade tree to shade tree.

I am old, pale, and wise in the ways of beer and shade, minimizing movement under Sauron's blazing eye. 😎&⛱️🍺 good,☀️🏜️🥵bad.

No one rushes in the Caribbean. Only the dumb white newbies.

@Pat_Walrond @FireMonkey

I learned.

We Beach Babes only went in the ocean after 3 PM in big hats & sunglasses.

@LnzyHou @FireMonkey Good Saturday!🌻🍻

Pull starting a motor is added to list of things to avoid for bone health.

@LnzyHou
Yep, tender.
Tastes like chik'n.
Better than cats. 😋😆
