I'd love to cool off at Campos Plaza but my clip is empty.

All are welcome at TSB. You don't need to buy anything. If you're in a bad way and want to stop in just to cool off, no problem. We have the space.

@Anonymous 3:57 PM: when hot weather is unusual rather than the norm, more people (usually older folks, but also athletes) succumb to heat stroke because they aren't familiar with proper precautions and symptoms. Kind of like drivers who aren't familiar with icy roads because they rarely encounter such conditions.
