                                                            I live in East coast of Florida, where the temps are moderated....so there's lots of inland areas now suffering much hotter than Florida.
All I can suggest is stay cool...and work to slow down global warming. 
Work to "acclimate" yourselves...tolerate sweating.  Where light colored clothing.  Make sure that fan and AC has been "tuned up" so it won't die suddenly on you.
Remember; only 2 generations ago there was no such thing as air conditioning.  And our ancestors survived the warmth for thousands of generations. 
We can all do a token amount. 
Plan our trips better. Use less fossil fuels. Waste less, recycle more. 
It will continue to get hotter...and the "slope" of the increase isn't a straight line...it's curving more upwards every day.

Two generations ago there was no such thing as Air conditioning...so my recommendation is adapt, or suffer.  Deal with sweating, hand-made fans, and "chilling"....because until we stop using fossil fuels..(and for a long time after that) things will keep getting worse.

                                                            I make a "muscle" brownie that works for me. 
A regular brownie mix; spiked with a cup of oatmeal (put in the food processor to be "floured" ) a scoop or two of "protein powder" and eggs without yolks (more protein less fat).  If you like a gooey brownie, leave the oil mixture as prescribed on the box, or even add a bit more. If you like a "low fat" brownie, then do less oil.   Sometimes I throw in some greek yogurt as well.  DON"T OVERCOOK!
For a chunkiness, I add dried cranberries, pecans or walnuts, and sometimes dried papaya or pineapple.

                                                            So 70,000 years away by the fastest travelling space ships.
21 times closer to the star it's orbiting...so no chance for water. Far too hot, no atmosphere (solar winds).
What's the point of even theorizing "standing on its' surface"?

Let me add...it's kind of a blanket "pre-judicial remark to say "centrist corporate dems are not going to do a damn thing for the country"...
Dems stand, much more so,  for the middle american, the average American, than Republicans do. 
 
So let's give them some credit; and not lump all "Dems" whether centrist or leftist or progressive with any faction of the Republican party.
Remember; there's even a few legitimately wise, and caring Republicans. Yes, they also have a huge majority that favor corporate welfare over the welfare of the average American...but even a few Republicans show the courage to go against the tide. 
Be careful of blanket pre-judicial statements, please. It shows your poor judgment not the truth...and as Agnostics, that's what we strongly seek out....the facts....the truth.

The rich will survive and thrive. 
There will be a massive die-off of the not so wealthy as the planet gets hotter. 
The #religulous will say "it's gods plan".
The scientists/agnostics will fight for legislation but won't get much done....the wealthy profit from denying climate change...it keeps their fossil-fuel-related profits flowing; and seeing that the wealthy are the politicians (or have them "in their pockets")...we won't see much official change. 
The wealthy who live on the shore are well insured....they're actually "betting" (paying insurance) in favor of a devastating coastal storm and/or sea level rise so they can rebuild bigger, stronger, and higher above sea level. 
The poor and not so wealthy...the folks who live close to the shore because they have to...it's their living....will lose, struggle to survive, go bankrupt, suffer injuries, diseases, and shorter life spans as the seas encroach. 
Watch this 20 second video. The poor vs the rich. The haves vs the have-nots...we will see the disasters increase in death tolls and frequency as time marches on....

                                                            Every once in a while I have an erotic dream...with a variety of women...but that happens too rarely....kind of like my life?  
I recall trying to help a fella (or gal? not sure which) in this section, who complained of horrific dreams. 
I was so sad that I had (apparently) no way to help him/her re-direct away from the frightening "nightmares"....but I guess that's the nature of life.
Some imagine horrible situations, and they become part of their "dream-scape" and then they're stuck with repeats of them.  I tried to suggest reading pleasant stories, watching pleasant movies...but (s)he was resistant....insisting that they were indelible...
oh, well.  I guess it takes a repeated face-to-face to work on changing ones' dreams...?

I was so sad that I had (apparently) no way to help him/her re-direct away from the frightening "nightmares"....but I guess that's the nature of life.
Some imagine horrible situations, and they become part of their "dream-scape" and then they're stuck with repeats of them.  I tried to suggest reading pleasant stories, watching pleasant movies...but (s)he was resistant....insisting that they were indelible...
oh, well.  I guess it takes a repeated face-to-face to work on changing ones' dreams...?

As you can see in the image - I'm a naked-faced guy myself...I tried the beard route....it never worked for me...

Let me just react as a relative stranger and remind you how many DO "eat themselves to death" - and for some reason you've chosen not to do that....so that took, and takes...a lot of courage..a LOT!
Let me share a meme/map that illustrates how the rest of the nation is falling in to that food addiction hole that you've decided to climb out of.
That takes courage. 
Keep on keepin' on, Ed. your posts inspire me, at least.

Now we're in a nation led by intolerant, racist, prejudiced folk...and there's not much we can do about it.
I feel what you're talking about...but there's little we can do but get out and vote. 
All this pro-tolerance, pro-humanist discussion is preaching to the choir...the folk who really need to read it won't.

I've been through several pair; rechargeables, super expensive (phone programmable, etc)
I found a great set that work well, great music amplification (often an issue with me....I listen to smooth jazz almost all day) for under $300...I'll share the link here..

Most of the "Britzgo" aids are under $300 for a set. I've read the (Amazon) reviews; most love the device, but don't applaud the customer service.   
Search Amazon for "hearing aids - Britzgo"....and there's many more on their pages.

If you want to "encourage" the vote more than just posting on social media, may I recommend a "Go Vote" pin?  I know it's a bit early to be so "pushy" but I wear a pin on all the stuff I wear out....from visors to jackets...and if someone notices my pin...I give them it.    I'm on my third dozen!   Zoom in on the pin to see the website....or go here....

                                                            Love Aldi's ....so impressed with their line of goods.  Even their meats...Bison, Grass fed beef, wild salmon and trout....incredible. 
And when they notice their produce is "aging" they don't "dump it" they reduce its' price...and give us the cost-savings. 
Fast checkouts...use your own bags....They have a big future!

Don't let the sugar daddy - nor the sugar baby - have an unfair advantage.
The trick - for sugar daddy or sugar baby...is to not get overwhelmed with the situation. 
 Sit down, get out pen/pencil and paper...come to an agreement about who has what, who gets what.  Once it's clear, there's no disagreements, no debates.  Win - win.

The problem is that Greed is a welcomed and nurtured strategy in America (and most of the "free" world).
...and greed is the antithesis of science. It's adopted by all the #religulous, the climate change deniers. the war mongers. the Fossil fuel addicts.  Greed is shunned by the wise, the ecological, the conscientious.
Greed is a perfect addiction....the greedier you get, the more your rewards....nothing to shoot/snort/take.... your family loves your "habit"....
...but it is an addiction....losers in the "greed" game go through depression and suicide.  A high rate of self-defeating eating and smoking behaviors afflict the greedy. 
We will either let the greedy dominate the planet and speed up our approach to doomsday and extinction....or we'll vote them out of office, vote to support restricting the greedy from abuse....and slow down our approach to termination.
I'm expecting the former...I hoping for the latter.

Unfortunately it's a delicate balance....easily offset.   At least it was for me.

...and non-scientists/skeptics about the past are in absolute denial about this.
This is how we discovered the concept of "nuclear winter".
This explains, also, why Venus is so hot...hotter than Mercury. 
The clouds and gases (from Volcanoes, then)  trapped the heat - or kept it out....putting the whole planet in to either an out-of-control rise or drop in temps. 
Most of the time that Dinosaurs were on the earth there was NO snow nor ice due to the high volcanic activity.

They're locked in to their POV.  
Scientists, open-minded folk, Liberal/progressives/Agnostics welcome a challenge...they like to be proven wrong.
These folk are the opposite. They're indoctrinated. Brainwashed. Convinced. 
All the more reason to be solidly behind one candidate this fall, and next spring...or we will be "up the creek without a paddle"....4 more years of horrible national leadership.
The choice is ours.

The future is much, much hotter for much, much longer.  To survive you/we need to adapt.  Global warming is real, it's happening, and it's accelerating. 
Let me add; Look at this graph.
Air conditioning is only 40-50 years old.
  Many of us were born without it in our lives.
  We need to open the windows more often. Get out in the heat.  Don't be afraid to sweat.  Adapt or die....the planet is getting hotter, at a faster rate...

                                                            Those who still support Trump are locked in. They're righteous. They're convinced.  They're arrogant.  They're threatening. 
They're also severely undereducated, and unintelligent...they didn't do well in school, and/or dropped out early. 
They've had unplanned kids...and will continue to do so.
They drive on the left as slow as they want to. 
We all know a few folk like this...they're quite often the #Religulous of America, as well.
...and they will be a potent voting force in 2020.  If we don't get the vote out...and end up with a candidate that a large bunch of us aren't happy with.....
We could suffer the effect; 4 more years of DJT.
All i can suggest is; they won't die out. They won't go away. They will fight and cheat to support Trump; even if it means wearing "We support Russia before Democrats" T shirts. 
Be aware they exist...and in large numbers.

you're becoming agnostic, 
but you don't want to "advertise" it, or get in to debates about it.
Am I getting the gist, here?
My answer?
The older and wiser you get, the more you ask questions about "myths". 
Blind faith is hard to sustain in this day and age...so kudos to you for recognizing your shift in values. 
There's no agnostic "church'. 
No places to meet. No groups to hang with. 
There is this website...which as you see is growing and expanding. 
I encourage you to stay. Join groups that you might be interested in. Share your bio and some pics.   
Life is short.   Share a smile...that's all we ask....
About the inevitable "what happens when we die" thing that all #religulous are pre-occupied with, I defer to a comment made by a fabulous writer. You might want to read or watch his video, "The God delusion"...he says this about death;

"When neighbors are not physically "close by" you seek them out, you make friends. As our neighborhood has grown, your desire to "know your neighbor" diminishes...."
"We live longer, go through more changes faster than ever. Thus it's harder to stay and continue on a parallel development path with the "soulmate"  today than it was decades, and centuries ago". 
https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/alvin_toffler
John B. Calhoun did the science on this, in his landmark study "Population Density and Social pathology"...in '62. 
Basically he said, the more crowded it gets, the crazier we get, the more sexually deviant/asexual we become, the more child neglect/abuse evolves, the more we hoard, the greedier we become.

                                                            You have to know where you're fishing. What kind of bottom. What pollution level is the water. When are the fish biting.  Are they good eating or not. Is it from dock, boat, or bridge. Lures vs live bait.  Good "tackle" vs old/cheap tackle.  Live bait put on the hook well vs not put on well could also make a difference.  So many variables makes fishing for your dinner a questionable and challenging thing to do.

So many variables makes fishing for your dinner a questionable and challenging thing to do.

"Neither of the above are good choices are far as nutrition goes. 
If you're a food Nazi, that is important.  
But, really, with food Nazis, healthy eating is not the real goal.
The real goal is to make others miserable by harping at them about what they eat.
I tell you what: the food Nazis out there can just shut the hell up and let us eat our tasty food in peace, 
They're incapable of doing that, of course.
They have no control over it, just as other mentally ill people have no control over what they do.
Wow.....LOLOL!

 Welcome and thanks for sharing.  
Click on "browse" or "groups" and join any that catch your interest! Have fun...the folks on here are far more polite and positive than those on FB.
Now/soon, post lots of pics of yourself having fun, doing stuff. Post a short but honest bio about your life/likes/dislikes. Try to put in a sense of humor....keep it light.

I also find it important to "sweat" every day...whether by exposure to hot weather, or a hard workout. Preferably both.
It's easier to measure those....
I reached 144 yesterday, back up a half pound to 145.2 today....
bike ride coming up..followed by a nice late lunch of chicken and veggies - including the last carrots from my winter garden! 
...and for dessert....one of my sister's brownies...one per day until they're gone....early evening so I'm hungry by bedtime...
I'm promising! (to myself, really!)

                                                            Trivia question; Who remembers what planet they're from? ( I think it was mentioned near the end of the movie, where the whole castle took off...)

                                                            I'm not sure what happened with my 3 brothers and one sister - but I just don't see eye to eye with any of the brothers....and sis and I agree on lots...but she's "struggling" and I'm "comfortable" and that leaves me with guilt...

                                                            I bike 4-6 miles a day, for 1/2 hour to an hour. My average speed is 8 MPH.  On a good day I'll get 9 MPH average. I should call me club the Sloth biking club.
