As I'm sure you've heard by now, most of the US is having hot weather.
This part of the country has not been spared. On my ride today, I stopped in Isham Park, near the northern tip of Manhattan. Given its location, it's quite bucolic; on a hot summer day it's not surprising to see elderly people and couples with young children whiling the afternoon away in the shade.
The man in this photo may have had the best idea of all for coping with the heat:
He must have had an influence on me: I fell asleep, for about an hour, on a bench near the one where he was dozing.
When I woke up, he was still in dreamland. Actually, I think he would have been in dreamland had he awakened: The ambient light of such a hot, hazy day spreads across trees, rocks and benches like a linen gauze.
Maybe I'm closer to that man's age than I want to admit!

I look at "blokes" of our sorts of age and am shocked at how old they look! What we go through seems to have some advantages...
