a living in this scorching heat that service us all.

Delivery people
AC service people
Lawn care
Road workers
Roofers
Baggage handlers at the airports
Line men
Repair men of all kind.

If you see one, please offer them a bottle of cold water.
I agree! I was a Letter Carrier in Indiana and delivered mail in 95+ heat several times, but always wondered how the carriers in Florida could take it week after week. It was worse than the cold of winter, for sure. Several great people would give me a cold drink along my route and it was really appreciated.
