about 73, but it took my car a few minutes to cool down. it was brutal, the black leather was cooking. 
haha, no seriously, I got to help a customer set up their worldship system in a warehouse that generated extra heat. i have nothing but respect for you guys out there on days like today.
i told a driver when they were leaving to stay cool, and he said days like today (and when it snows) are why he gets paid the big bucks. said today was his superbowl. it was great.

I know we all like to complain and about the stupid things that we have to endure from corporate, and believe me I have seen my share.
But I have to admit I was thinking today how great PAS/EDD is. I remember when you used to spend so much time in the back of the package car just trying to figure out where you were going next and trying not to miss any packages for your bulk stops.
The list of stops and how many packages for each, has really cut down on the time I spend in the oven and today I was really grateful for that.
It seems like I spend more time in the back of my truck because of PAS/EDD looking for boxes that my preloader loaded on somebody else's package car.
Yea, especially when half the truck you dont even recognize. And on one of the hottest days in decades, you have to try to figure out what is a business, whats safe to deliver late, and when the heck can you take a break.
And who is going to yell in the am, when you did your god honest best. So fulfilling.

100 here today, no idea what the heat index was, I try not to watch the weather this time of year. Don't really want to know. Supposed to be in the upper 90s all next week. There is a slight breeze once in awhile.
I just tell myself, at least Im not roofing, paving, or fieldwork(hay). Statement from a friend of mine who has a son overseas as well: "our boys are in 100+ degree heat, wearing armor, getting shot at and dodgeing roadside bombs." Yea, we got it rough, but there are worse situations.

Amen to that, and we get paid a whole lot more to throw cardboard.

I knew it would be hot this week. That's why I took this week off when I picked my vacations last November.
