Today is the 6th day of over-90-degree
temperatures here in the northeast. And many of us are starting to get a little
desperate in our quest for some relief from the heat. So I did a little
googling and came up with a bunch of ideas of how to keep your cool during this
ongoing heat wave.
Ice is Nice

Most of us don’t have to wear a fur coat all summer long,
but we could still benefit from this dog’s solution to the heat: ice, ice,
baby.
Personal Protection

Wearing your own personal sunshade will keep you free from
sunstroke, sunburn, and possibly social interactions. But at least you’ll be
cool (literally if not figuratively).
Find a Friend with a
Pool
Good fences make good neighbors, but good pools make better
ones. Figure out which of your neighbors has the nicest pool and drop by with a
casserole to say “Welcome to the neighborhood.” Even if you’ve both lived there
for years.
Frozen Friends

Defrost your freezer and make a snowman. Give him a nice,
big hug. When he melts, pull out the steaks you unearthed while defrosting and
thaw them…creatively.
Take It All Off
If you’re brave, do it publicly (preferably in an
appropriate venue, thanks). If you’re shy, your fenced-in backyard or your own
living room with the shades drawn are also acceptable.
Water, Water
Everywhere
Grab a hose, a bucket, a squirt gun – whatever source of
water is handiest – and go to town. Take turns wetting down a friend, or keep
it all to yourself. Just remember that wetter is better!
