Crotch Pot Cooking

With the temperature hitting 99 degrees here in Nashville, I get drenched in sweat just walking out to the mailbox. I'm glad to be working from home, but when I do some yard work or anything that involves lifting anything heavier than a pencil outdoors, I start sweating, my head starts cooking and I want to guzzle a beer... at 10 am.

Well, thank you, Roosevelt. What's the weather like out there?

Well, can you tell me what it feels like?

Thank you, Roosevelt.
