As many of you know, I work outside. Which means that part of the year I get my nose frozen off and part of the year I sweat bucketfuls. For the past few weeks, it has been the sweaty season. You may remember that I took a cold right about the time that the weather warmed up. Despite constant trips to the water fountain to rehydrate, I was running on fumes by the time the sun came up. Directed by what must have been divine revelation, I went over to the Wal and Marts and bought a gallon cooler jug and some powdered Gatorade. It took me about a week to determine how much I needed to drink each night. Three quarts of Gatorade is what it takes to get me through the night. I take a long drink from my jug every thirty minutes or so. I am a little surprised that I have not turned orange yet.
My other title choice for this post was The Only Good Thing to Ever Come From the University of Florida. I thought that might be too long a title, plus most people would not believe that anything good could ever come from there. However, UF is the source of Gatorade. I was not aware of this connection until a couple of years ago when Gatorade ran some commercials about their origin.
