Cold as Ice

For those of us who are in the north/southeast, it has been very hot and humid! Power outages are beginning for the summer season and the most unusual methods of keeping cool are randomly on display.

When it gets really hot, I give Milo an ice cube to cool him down. I have been blasting the AC, but living on the top floor of an apartment building doesn't help much. Milo usually sits in front of the fan, which runs simultaneously with the AC to blow the cool air around the room.

Cooling off with water- in the ocean or in a park with sprinklers- is not an option for us city dwellers. We do have many parks with sprinklers, but walking into the sprinkler with hundreds of screaming kids does not seem fun- even though it would cool me off.

I recently saw a piece on the news about passengers stuck for 3 hours on a Delta Comair flight at the airport with no AC! A video showed the passengers fanning themselves with the emergency evacuation pamphlets. Apparently, the crew would open the door to let air in cabin every 1/2 hour!

Is that cool or what!
