Stark financial neccessity forced me to go outside, and I was right: Mr. Sun was right there, waiting to burn me! I still like Tucson, but the summers are killing me.

The sun goes apeshit if you don't, though: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/496147
Well unfortunately getting used to the heat is not something that is going to come easy for you. I've lived in South Texas all my life and I'm still slowly getting used to the heat. Every so often it cranks up enough to test my limits. Then again, if I went to some place like Canada, I'd freeze to death in no time. :b
I have the same problem when I have to do heavy ranch work during the summer. I found out that there are several manufactures of vests, neck bands, and hats that soak up lots of water and then evaporate it producing much more effective cooling than sweating yourself into heat stroke. These things really work!

Even cooler are vests with reversible phase change materials; you put it in your refrigerator overnight, and it will keep you at 59F for hours:

Or you can make it your self:

Just Google cool vest for lots more. Cool vests and neck bands and hats make a hell of a big difference.

You are welcome. I'd have a fit from porn withdrawal if you dropped dead of heatstroke. Any chance for more Savage Squirrel? Bloody unrelenting violence against really bad guys is a lot of fun, too!
I suggest rehydration of your body with V-8 or tomato juice rather than sports drinks because the sports drinks usually contain loads of sugar and often have too little potassium. I carry a couple of liters of V-8 in my cooler when I'm doing summer work or going to my hot springs.
If you are not pissing or your urine is getting darker than usual, you are approaching the danger zone - rehydrate immediately whether you feel thirsty or not.
