Hi Pat,

I guess the problem would be the body not being adapted or used to the climate, or to extremes, so it can't take it ... where you are, I'd probably be dead in two minutes, literally! ... if you were here you'd be comfy in the day and at night you'd probably be pulling the quilt over you to get warm We can go from 35c in the day, to 13c at night right now.

How are the soldiers handling it over in Afghanistan in the heat and in those uniforms and all their equipment they have to wear and lug around??? They aren't used to those extremes of temps because they've never lived in it and they were abruptly dropped in it. Doesn't it get extremely hot there??? I really feel for them. Their bodies are acclimatized to Canadian weather and environments.
