Saw where former U.S President, Jimmy Carter was overcome by heat yesterday. The 90 plus year old was working on a construction site in Canada building homes for Habitat for Humanity. He was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for dehydration. He is one tough senior citizen. He was diagnosed in 2015 with melanoma that spread to his brain. News accounts indicate he is no longer being treated for that dreaded disease.
