At that moment I knew I had to turn my defeat around by finding different ways to improve my bike riding…

Your body maintains a temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Like the thermostat in your house, it turns up the heat by causing shivering when the temperature is too low and starts its cooling system by causing sweating when the temperature is too high. However, there are limits to its ability to keep its temperature at a steady 98.6. In conditions of extreme warmth and/or during intense physical activity, the body's temperature continues to climb.

car window during the fourth’s fireworks display. I took it, washed it, and hung it from the mobile lab’s window. Now she’d sigh loudly. Being a man, I wouldn’t hear her. At night I stored the flag in the top shelf. A co-worker used it to wipe hot asphalt from a test pan. When I confronted him, he said it was just a rag. Now, my wife would signal for me to quiet down by punching me on the arm. Being a man, I’d continue, remember when we were at the beach. Remember the man wearing a red, white,…
