When I was told by my doctor that I was a little out of shape, I was concerned. He suggested that I start riding a bike or go to a gym to do regular exercise. I liked the idea of riding a bike, so I decided to get a really nice one with a decent helmet. I started riding my bike even on the hot days. I went down all kinds of paths and I started getting into pretty good shape. This one day, they said on the news that we were experiencing a heatwave and to remain indoors with air conditioning if possible. My wife was telling me that I should stay at home that day, but I didn’t listen to her. I said a little bit of heat wasn’t going to stop me from getting my exercise. She was right though, it was way too hot to be out there on a bike. I was getting winded pretty fast on that day. I kept stopping at different gas stations and going in to enjoy the cooling system. I wasn’t the only one enjoying the A/C in the gas stations, all kinds of people were dropping in and buying cool drinks. I had a backpack and I stocked up on a few cold drinks as well. It almost didn’t matter, by the time I would get to the next gas station, my drinks wouldn’t be cold anymore. I thought about buying a small bag of ice to put in my backpack, but thought better of it because it would melt in no time. I stayed at the last gas station for a long time and I really enjoyed their temperature control settings. They had the A/C at an ice-cold level and it really helped me to recover from the heat. I just wanted to make it back home without passing out, so I finally went. As soon as I got through the door, I passed out on the couch. My wife brought me an ice-cold drink and had the A/C cranked up. She told me again that I shouldn’t have gone out there.
