August 2nd

Whew! It's hot! (I guess that's to be expected in August here in the NYC area.) We've had back to back days of triple digit temperatures, and the rest of the country is faring no better. We're in the grips of a heatwave. To mark the occasion, I'm writing to a few people who are associated either directly or indirectly with heatwaves and staying cool.

Martha Reeves - singer, "Heatwave"

John Sebastian - singer/composer "Summer In the City"

Buster Poindexter (David Johanssen) singer - "Hot, hot, hot"

George David - Carrier Air Conditioners CEO

Jim Rudolph - Rita's Italian Ice CEO

Hosni Mubarak - President of Egypt (one of the hottest nations on Earth)
