Both my husband and FIL are in construction, and I feel for them working out in our desert sun. On a lighter side, my daughter Marissa and her friend thought it would be a fun experiment to see if they could fry on egg on the HOT asphalt. She just said they scrambled it. Oh, and I cool my car down before I drive anywhere, because the metal part to the girls' seatbelts do the same thing, absorb all the heat, and they could get burned.
