re: 1980 Summer Heatwave

I was 9 years old that summer and I remember it well. My aunt and uncle lived in Calhoun, La. at that time and we went up to spend a few weeks with them. They lived on a golf course and we would "sneak" on and play a few holes everyday.

I remember getting sick from chugging down too much cold water too quickly one day. Eventually, we started to wait until late afternoon to go out on the course because it was just so damn hot.

We also spent at least part of everyday at the clubhouse swimming pool just to get some relief. Hot as hell, but I have fond memories of that summer just hanging out and being a normal kid.

Also associate that summer with the Leonard vs. Duran 1 fight since it seemed to be in the news a lot during our time there.
