I'm so happy the school year is almost over. Anyone who needs to register for summer activities offered by the school, such as summer classes and camp, may do so in my office. Please do so before the last day of school, June 13th.

In other news: a safety advisory.
We're on a tropical island and I'd like to remind that temperatures may reach ridiculous levels of intense heat.

- Be aware of the signs of heatstroke and exhaustion. These include: fatigue, confusion, extreme thirst, cramping, and dizziness or nausea.

- The sun is strongest between 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. Apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, 30
minutes before going outside and reapply every 2 hours as well as after swimming or excessive sweating. This is to keep you from looking like a beet or whatever edible object that's the same color your blood may be. Trust me on this one.

- On a particularly sunny day do not purposely open the curtains on anyone who may be what could be classified as "undead" because the sun may cause burning or increased rotting flesh. Just don't do it.

- Drink lots of water to stay hydrated and limit intense physical activity on really hot and humid days (limiting physical activity does not mean cease physical activity all together all summer.) Focus on replacing lost salt and minerals with water (not salt water. It doesn't work that way) and sports beverages and avoid alcoholic drinks (even though most of you won't at all this is still a safety tip.)

- Monitor those at high risk of suffering in the heat. These include: infants and young children, those 65 years or older (I'm not 65 or older. Don't monitor me.), people who are on the thicker side, those who are aquatic in nature, and those who may already be physically ill.

What he said.

[veryproud]

What do you normally do during this time of year?

[freezespirited]

I head to where it's always cold. Sometimes Antarctica, until I get bored and go to where there are more people.

Kind of hard to do now, seeing as we can't leave.

[veryproud]

Is it going to be a problem?

[ not that he thinks you can melt or anything- ]

[inherited]

Do people really need to be told this stuff?

[veryproud]

Yes.

[inherited]

Then I'm not sure they're going to listen.

[veryproud]

But then when they don't I get to say, "I told you so."
It's worth stating.

[razorback]

There are zombies. Of course there are zombies, I should've known.

[veryproud]

I believe it's zombie. Singular.

But yes. It happens.

[razorback]

Do you like being like... one of the five responsible adults in the entire island?

[veryproud]

It keeps me from being bored.

[gabutyra]

Is it possible for me to be aquatic?

[veryproud]

Do you have gills?
If not, then you're probably not aquatic.

[gabutyra]

Oh, that's too bad. I guess I'm not aquatic.

[veryproud]

Sorry. I know what a bummer that is.

[swordhappy]

Somehow I cannot bring myself to be very concerned that all the years I have lived will pose much risk.

[veryproud]

It's for the general public. I'm sure you're fine.

[swordhappy]

I felt it only fair that I should point it out. Would you be the renowned Mister Coulson?

[badnewsboy]

Advice worthy of one of those slips of laminated pamphlets folded into thirds you find outside of the Office of the Administrator.

[veryproud]

I've been told I should make pamphlets. I might do it.

[badnewsboy]

And I'd be happy to properly distribute them for you. Free of charge!

[stillpretty]

How many undead do we have here that that's an official safety advisory?

[veryproud]

Undead, in this case, being only those who might rot or burn in the sun: one vampire and one zombie.

Two. But I don't like to let anyone not get included and I'm making it applicable to any new arrivals, so I didn't specify that.

[stillpretty]

Okay, I know about the vampire but is the zombie people-friendly?
