Their name is escaping me right now, but there was a Jamaican group that did some reggae versions of disco songs, and even put new lyrics to some very famous disco grooves of the late 70s.

Indeed RE hydration. Battling a crappy summer cold, and the AC irritates my sinuses more, but if I take a decongestant I'll dry out faster. Realized last night that I didn't drink enough water during the day; stood up from my work chair and almost wobbled over -- thankfully was able to catch myself and flop onto my bed. I mean, I'm wearing a very light seersucker nightie that lets sweat evaporate, but something is definitely wonky with the thirst mechanism. Also if you are on ANY psych/neurological/heart/cancer meds, you are at a much higher risk for heat stroke and dehydration. Ditto for anyone pre-diabetic or diabetic. Stay safe, stay as cool as you can, and stay HYDRATED; even if you don't "feel thirsty" try to set a hydration timer or take a sip every 2 or 3 songs, etc. I have a hugeass 32 oz Stanley mug knockoff right next to my work area.

Oh maaaaan....my late Aunt Mimi used to have an apartment nearish to Bronx Park South. When I was a kid, if my cousins and I went over to her place in the summer, one of the older cousins would be assigned to watch us. We'd all walk around and could usually find an open hydrant within a block or two. Her 1BR, while being the site of many family occasions, also had a TINY kichen, ONE tiny AC in the BR, and generally got as hot as absolute hell in the summer.

And speaking of being as hot as hell....the exterior walls of my place feel like a living breathing thing. Warmer than body temperature to the touch. I LOVE solid old NYC prewars, and they hold the heat from steam heat like a champ, but in the summer....the bricks start heating up in June and don't cool down until October.

AND SHAVED ICE. HOLY FUCK I NEED ME SOME PUSHCART SHAVE ICE. Y'know, from the guy who has a huge block of ice and a scraper, and home-made syrups in repurposed liquor bottles. Anothert childhood memory....coming back from Grandma's on the Island, Mom and I got stuck in some nasty bullshit traffic near the approach to the GW Bridge. As in bumper to bumper, hot as hell out, AC cranked as high as we could in the old Impala. Traffic at a standstill juuuust before the onramp. So this one shaved ice guy very carefully got onto the pavement and started selling car to car a few cars in front of us. I can still see my Mom reaching for her bag under her seat, pulling out a fiver, rolling down the window, and calling to the guy in Spanish. She got lime, I was still in my "grape everyting" phase as a kid and had yet to discover the joys of tamarindo syrup.
