> To my (slight) surprise, I saw 97.6ºF coming up an awful lot, in the evening, when people are supposed to be at about 98.6ºF. Because I was typing this post, I decided to take my temperature right now (even though it is ten thirty in the morning and I am not feeling over heated) because I know that the human body is naturally a bit cooler in the morning--sure enough, I came up at 97.0ºF.

Huh. I usually run around 96.8ºF. One time I had a high fever: 102º or 103ºF. I knew I couldn't get to the hospital/doctor's office, but I remembered a scene from Jacob's Ladder. One ice bath later, my fever broke.
