Drinking warm water

[mtbc]

I try to drink plenty of liquid each day, typically glasses of room-temperature water and hot tisanes, sometimes various tea and coffee also. About the only use I have for ice is for making a bowl of very cold water in which to cool boiled eggs rapidly.

With our colder weather, something new has happened: no longer do I find glasses of cold water appetizing. It would take plenty of tisanes to get me what feels like enough liquid. So, inspired by a colleague back in Dundee who used to drink plenty of warm water, I've now started doing likewise: it's okay. So, that's the new pattern, at least for now.

It's funny. My wife had her last overnight work shift at the observatory a month or so ago due to her health problems. But in the middle of winter, when I'd drive up to see her (photography, whatever) I'd still have a bottle of cold water in the car even though the car itself was 20f when I got into it.

Four decades in Phoenix, doubt I'll ever shake it.

Back when I went to college, I often kept my lunch in my car and it would heat up in the sun. The water (in a glass bottle) got quite warm. I agree; it wasn't bad.
