Three Observations Over 'Heat'

 First, via both German commercial and public news....three pieces this  week so far...talking over the 'horror' of being in hospitals that lack AC.  I looked it up....roughly 32-percent of German hospitals have AC.

Yeah, it's a problem if you get up into the 34 C (93 F) range....couple of days straight.

My advice....wheel yourself out into the gardens (most hospitals have a shaded area) and sip on chilled water.

Second, you start to now notice briefly dressed Germans....men and women.

It wouldn't matter if the women were all model-types, but it's an issue if you  have a 50-year-old gal.....marginally-dressed....showing 80-percent of her body. And it's  almost the same if Huns (the 70-year old retiree) is wearing  just a pair of underwear while sitting on his balcony.

Third, I can understand the 'doom-chatter-BS', but after you get two-plus hours  over a entire day from  TV news.....you come to ask if more people die in the summer, and the answer is ALWAYS the majority of folks die in the winter months. 

If you try to explain this to Germans....they seem to get confused.
