It's 90 let's have another cup of coffee

[Son_of_Perdition]

I learned another thing today, that vindicates me, I've always been an advocate of drinking hot coffee on a hot day. I remember my father telling me about the workers doing the Boulder/Hoover dam in Nevada, he was laying brick for the housing. He said there was a study as to why the Spanish/Americans were able to work in the extreme heat while the caucasian workers suffered.

They determined that the Spanish/Americans were eating hot foods, drinking hot drinks & therefore were able to withstand the extremes better. I was the butt of many jokes when I would point that out. I have drank hot coffee on days when the temp was over 90 & thought nothing of it. But now, science is supporting me. One thing to take into account is the theory only pertains to living in a dry climate, Nevada, Arizona, Utah,,,etc. I was born & reared in Utah so it came as no surprise to me. Just now have to convince all my friends who thought I was off the reservation.

Well it's perspiration that cools your body.

So it makes sense if you drink a liquid that makes you perspire you will be cooler.

It was 93 in Houston yesterday and I still drank my hot coffee. Of course it was sweet tea the rest of the day!

Always have my coffee no matter how hot it gets. My granddad used to say it cools you off. I don't know about that, but he may have been on to something....or on something.

I noticed over the years while being a pilot, I had noticed that the older pilots drank a lot of coffee while flying. The younger pilots coming in today drink very little coffee. They do, however, drink those fancy coffee drinks, like Lattes. I drank a lot of coffee when I worked. Today, just the opposite. One mug in the morning and I have had my fill for the day, unless we eat out at a restaurant, then I do need coffee with my dessert. I don't care what the temp is outside.
