Heat and Dust

Last week of work has been really hot and dusty. The temperature has been around 115-117F everyday, the only 'good' thing is the humidity has been <10% most of the time. It was so hot the other day when I was on top of one of the taller towers, my sweat droplets would evaporate before they reached the ground. It was so hot and dry that you could even take a cold can of soda outside and there would not be any condensation on the sides of the can. There just wasn't any water in the air to make the can 'sweat'. Although, there was more than enough heat to make me sweat in less than a minute. Trapesing around the plant for 7 hrs or more outside in this heat has made me really appreciate frequent water breaks. I do not know how the general laborers on the construction crews are able to do manual labor all day long here. Even if they don't work at too much beyond a snails pace some days.
