in the 120's last summer. This is a real temp. I can say, working outdoors and trying to keep old horses alive was really hard. I cannot imagine that as the real temp.

Although I appreciated the message of that book, I thought it was terrible. A real slog to read. I find him to be a very overrated writer.
