AG: Do as I say, not as I do

My father was extremely opposed to chilled drinks while working hard in hot weather -- but he did like for the water we brought to him to be at well-bottom temperature. I use chilled water as a hydration aid. When I've poured a quarter bottle of melted ice, I'm strongly motivated to drink it up before it gets warm. (Since I nearly always insulate one pannier with newspapers, keeping chilled water cold is rarely extra trouble.) But hot water from parking in the sun goes down too. Not too often, since there is usually shade, or I take my bottle in with me. Once, long ago and far away, I drank a bottle of water I'd drawn from a hose that had been in the sun several hours -- not only well above ambient, but stinky. But I rejected[1] water from a drinking fountain that never stopped running hot, and thereafter gave up refilling at that fountain even though sporadic checks never again caught it above ambient. It's only ten more minutes to a fountain that I'm *sure* is potable. [1] I did fill my spare bottle in case the half-bottle didn't last ten minutes, but I dumped it at the next stop. Won't be long before I start putting bottles in the pannier to keep them warm. I wore a long-sleeved T-shirt under my thicker cotton jersey when I went to the grocery for cream cheese today, and it wasn't quite enough. Also found a small, thick sirloin steak in the quick sale bin, and baked it an hour at three-fifty F after rubbing it with soybean oil, with potatoes and vegetables seasoned with peanut oil in a separate skillet. We both liked it very much; I ate the juicy gristle, he ate the dry filets between the streaks of gristle. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
