Not Brutal, but...

How many doves?

It wasn't unbearable for Dr. K, Willow and I this morning, but it was damned close:  hot, sunny, humid, nary a breeze.  We followed our usual route, nonetheless, seeing no other lunatic nature lovers while we trudged through our section of northern Chihuahuan Desert.
