[conspire] Be careful about the impeding heat wave

[Rick Moen]

Please take care to stay hydrated and (if possible) cool during the heat
wave that's just beginning and expected to break on Friday.

There are going to be 96 degree F (36 degrees C) high temperatures
tomorrow in the South Bay.  People have been known to be _killed_ by
heat waves like this.  (Remember, air-conditioned retail space, movie
theatres, etc. are your friend.)


Riders on the ongoing Amgen Tour of California bicycle race are going to
have an... interesting time, especially tomorrow, when Stage 2 begins
with a climb of Mt. Hamilton (4,216 feet or 1,285 metres) and ends with
an equally grueling ascent of Mt. Diablo (3,849 feet or 1,173 metres).

I've done both ascents a number of times, and they're a real bear even
on cool days.
