We've blinked

Summer has rolled in here-- desert heat mixed with ocean air and lots of humid carbon monoxide blowing in the wind. It's about 100 F at midnight and gets up to 140 F during the day. I see those ubiquitous Pakistani construction workers around town digging ditches, raising high rise apartments and wonder how in the hell they do it. And how do they do it for 200 dollars a month, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day?
