Hotter than goods bought from the back of a van

Today we took the kids to the creek in the morning but had them back into the air conditioning by 11am because the superintendent's injunction was still in force. The heat index put today at 115 degrees. Even down near the creek shaded by many large trees the humidity and heat were oppressive.

There were surprising numbers of visitors at the park today. The visitor center was busy all day and at times was virtually packed. Many of these tourists didn't seem to mind the heat and even went on somewhat long walks around Battery 5 or Fort Morton. I can only conclude that these people are crazy.
