The sky is clear and the sun is punishing.
A thick layer of ozone ripples above the pavement. No matter how much water you drink, you know you’re losing more through your pores whether you’re moving or not.
And for a lot of New Brunswickers, a province with more folks over 65 years of age than any other province, activity is out of the question.
It’s the fourth 30+ degree day in a row. You’re restless. Exhausted, despite having been shuttered inside, blinds drawn, melting in your chair, since the heat wave hit.
