When is a fever considered to be high? I've never asked anyone this. I don't remember the last time I had one.

DF:

IIRC, Temple has a nicely preserved AT&SF 4-6-2 "Pacific" steam locomotive on display.

I think Temple was a major RR hub at one point.  Is that the case today?

Yeah from my understanding Temple was a somewhat major terminal with the ATSF, and while not as major today with the BNSF it's still a big switching yard and crew change point.

I'll keep an eye out for that steam engine next time I'm down there.

For adults, usually above 101°F means you're sick.  Above 103° is "really sick".  The 98.6°F figure was just a conversion from the much less precise figure of 38°C.

I like OUR social media. As in, this site.

And.. I've got a slight fever. 99.8. F'ing awesome.

My partners and I just agreed on a conference call to become a work-from-home company for the time-being.

I'm cancelling next week's trip to Florida.

Dammit.
This is a good social media.

Also, I can't recall, y'all are going to the keys or nearby? If so, you get to deal with an annual version of something like this (the is this that serious question) in hurricane season. I'm in a hurricane-adjacent area, and it's a dang thing.

Punta Gorda. Thanks for the fever info. I'm going to proceed with caution and stay home for a while.

Atlanta is here because in 1837 a rail spur was built south from Chattanooga.  It stopped at a place called Terminus, which later was named Marthasville after the governor's daughter.  An east-west line was then built that connected and the name Atlanta came to be because of the Western & Atlantic RR Co.  The downtown streets are angled at a 45° from the rest of the streets (aside from meandering) because of how the RRs ran.  The town grew to a population of 10,000 by 1860.

Yeah, if you stay above 100°F, I'd suggest some Tylenol to reduce it.  Tylenol is not good for your liver though, so don't drink.

Drinking's not good for your liver, either. ;)

Tylenol is uniquely bad for the liver.  The NSAIDs are not (aspirin, naproxen, ibuprofen).

101.4 Fahrenheit = (101.4 - 32) × 5⁄9 = (69.4) × 5⁄9 = 38.556 Celsius

I got this off the Santa Fe Preserved Locomotives site.
