IMPORTANT: Hot stuff

From Pink Lady Rocket: Greenbelt participants WILL WALK this evening. Once again, temperatures are dangerously high. Today it is expected to reach 100, with a heat index of 114, and Charlottesville is under a heat advisory. Neighboring counties to the east are under the more serious excessive heat warning.

For your information, a teenaged runner collapsed from heat stroke last night at 9:30 p.m. in Albemarle County and is in the hospital. So please be careful, and don't push yourself too far. Tomorrow the heat is expected to break, with highs of 85 on Thursday, 84 on Friday and a delightful 80 on Saturday. We're almost out of the woods!
