One other thing, I have fought fires in summer in Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, Michigan, and Minnesota.  Always the weather was hot and often it was humid. The beard always kept me cooler.

MY NAME IS ROY D. MERCER AND  I GOTTA A CAN OF WHOOP ASS WITH YOUR NAME ON IT!  DON'T MAKE ME OPEN IT.
