How do people do it?

So, I'm "working" from home today, had a little down time and decided to go mow the lawn before it gets really hot. It was 78 when I went outside, not too bad, low humidity.

By the time I got the front and side yards done, I had to come in the house and get a towel, soak it with water and wrap it around my neck. I went out and finished the back yard. The minute I was done, I ran into the house, kicked the thermostat down to 70 and laid down on one of the vents. I didn't even contemplate mowing the field. I'm pretty sure I'd stick to the seat of the riding mower and have to call 911 to come and pry me off.

This brings me to the question. How the Hell do people work outside in this?

I agree JC, Thankfully my development has landscapers that maintain the property so i dont have to worry about it.

I dont know how they do it, But I know my brother worked on a roof all day during the last heat wave. I was sure i would get a call he was at the hospital!! Its crazy these company's dont care about their employee's health!!!
