“Cooler is a relative term.”

That is so true. Stay inside and be as cool as you can. Heard on the news this morning, an elderly man died in his house because he couldn’t afford to run his air conditioner.

Wet a cloth of some kind and run it over your face, rest of head, neck, arms and have the fan turned toward you and that will lower the temp of the ambient air around you - it will be “relatively” cooler.

Most of my service time was spend in desert environments, except for a few TDY's to places like Alaska and Korea, so I'm familiar with the heat casualty drill.

I seem to have a new pet. It's a wood lizard that hangs out near the back door. He/she(?) follows me to the herb/salad garden and has done this for several days in a row. Maybe I'm stirring up bugs for it to eat.

I shall call him/her/it Fang.

I hope I don't step on it.

Or take a hot water bottle and fill it with ice, put on your head and hold it in place with a hat or cap. It works. I bought one of the strips of cloth with expanding jells inside. I wet it, tie it around my neck, it works for awhile.

Wet a sheet and drape it over you, with the fan running. If you need to move around, wear the damp sheet like a cloak.

It’s like wearing your own personal air conditioner.
