Mad Dogs

Like that old song goes, “only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun” – well we’re not Englishmen but we do go out in the midday sun. To tour anything you pretty much have to do it during the heat of the day as most places aren’t open in the evening. 30 degree temperatures with humidity just saps your energy. Staying hydrated and in the shade helps but the most important thing is slowing down! I purposely try to walk slowly so as not to get too overheated and I usually start out that way but by force of habit I find myself picking up the pace like I’m walking around Wascana Lake. It’s tough for an old dog to learn new tricks – even a mad one.
