Poll question: During hot weather do you


It is hovering around the 100-degree mark and is forecast to do so into the near future. What do you do to beat the heat, besides huddle under the AC?

3. It's not the heat that gets you . . .
it's the humidity.

4. Actually, -
I take my clothes straight out of the washer rather than putting them in the dryer (and in some cases, still just slightly damp).

5. It got down to 105 a couple of days ago, but we've been
hovering around 112 most of the time. I stay indoors. I wear little clothing and run my evaporative cooler 24/7. Drink gallons of water.

Until I have to go outside and do chores. Then I sweat gallons, drink more, wear hats, and take a shade break every few minutes.
