His green beans don't like too much heat this time of year, but his soon-to-be raisins, tucked inside their little brown wrappers are thriving in this late summer heat. "The sooner they dry then you take the risk away for rain. If you grow raisins this is good weather for you."
With about 25 extra pounds of work clothes and equipment than the average worker, Fresno Police Sgt. John Chandler was hoping by late September to avoid what he calls the "yuck factor." Chandler said, "It doesn't take long for the faucet to go on and the drip sweat to start coming out of all your pores. You're sweating in your helmet, coming down your face, in your vest, like an athlete that just got done with rigorous exercise."
Even though temperatures aren't expected to hit the 105 degree threshold that will open Fresno's cooling centers, Parks and Recreation employee Heather Heinks issued this reminder to the public. "There are 16 community centers all over town that can help them escape the heat on any given day."
