Only time I works in what could b caller real heat was when I started working in a paper box plant. We made the boxes for TV dinners and stuff like pot pies and that boxes had to get a coating of hot wax. TV dinners weren't too bad as they could only run two rows. Pot pies were something else with four rows and you had to keep up and they ran that waxer balls to the ball. You grabbed a handful and had to inspect and cull the bad ones, yeah right with something like five feet a minute and four rows. That bad bad enough but thanks to a real crappy union, women got two 15 minute breaks but the men did not. One a half hour for lunch. Have to go to the can? If you couldn't flag down a relief, tango sierra. First night on the job after eight hours I'm thinking it's over. Nope, gonna run some overtime. Started the shift at 4PM and got off at one in the morning. I worked ther for about six months until I got hired on at the post office. Dunno exactly just how hot it got there when that waxer was going full tilt but it had to be at least 120 to maybe 130. Sure was happy to give my notice when the P.O. hired me.

I’ve spent enough hot TX summer days in the cab of a Tractor without A/C as a kid to know I don’t need to visit Death Valley.🤠 I did the same, in southern Ks in the late 60s. Now my brothers newer tractor is more than twice the size, comfortable chair, AC, and good radio.
