A Heavy Burden

I've been to the Middle East.  When people say it's hot, you can't even imagine how hot it is.  The last time I was there I was doing some work at an air base in one of the garden spots over there and the routine day time temperature was 120 degrees.  I couldn't even imagine carrying all the stuff that our guys have to lug around in that heat.  And at some point, you just have to stop and rest.
