China: Parasol Helmet Might Help Beat the Worst Heatwave in 70 Years

[article summary]

This was on Chinese Internet news site www.chinanews.com on July 6th. A woman was riding a scooter wearing a colorful mini-parasol instead of a scooter helmet, to suffer less from sweltering heat.

The picture was taken at a street in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, China on July 4th. It was near 38 degree Celsius (100.4 deg. Fahrenheit,) at the time.

Some people have absolutely no self-respect.

All it's missing is the propeller on top.

Having gone a month without rain in Central Texas and higher-than-normal temps (it was 102 yesterday), she has my sympathy. You do what you have to against the sun.

We should send them straw cowboy hats. Might lower our trade deficit with China.

On hot summer days it is also important to keep hydrated. That is where this hat comes in:
