File Under: WTF?

The temperatures have been in the 90s for the past few weeks now, but hey - it's summer - it's supposed to be hot.  Yes, I know that the entire country is in a massive heat wave, with no relief in site until probably November or December when we have our first frost.  But once again, it's summer, and we have to expect that.  Every night on the local and national TV news, we hear the reporters and the weatherazzi tell us viewers to be sure and drink water when it's hot.  WTF?  Are people that silly today that they don't know to drink water when it's hot?  I bet those same people have to be told to come in from outside when it's raining, or to get off of the telephone when it's storming with lightning so they don't get zapped.  It just doesn't make sense to me.  Thirst, along with hunger, are two innate urges that we have.  Someone is just too far gone when they have to rely on the weatherazzi and news reporters to tell them to drink water when it's hot.  I just don't know what else I can say.
