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.
@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.
This is the way.
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. 😋😆
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.
