Stay Cool with Vmeals


I just saw this posted on Twitter today:

 

 

 
 
Typo notwithstanding, I think this forecast is good for most of the eastern seaboard. It is hot out there.

Don’t even think about going out to grab a quick bite – it could be deadly. Thank heaven for a little thing called online ordering. I’m thinking an ice cream bar for the office sounds good right now, don’t you?

 
We may be having a little fun with the forecast, but this kind of heat is truly dangerous. Dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke can sneak up on you, so take some simple precautions:
  • Stay well hydrated. Happy hour doesn’t count. 
  • Seek shelter in AC or shaded areas. 
  • Do not leave anyone in a car – dog, child, Batty Aunt Ida - ever. 
  • If you have to be outside, stick to light colored loose clothing. A hat is probably also a good idea. 
  • Check in on your neighbors. If you don’t hear the hum of AC at that sweet little old lady’s house next door, you may want to look in on her.
Stay in, order in, be safe.
