Today it’s supposed to hit 105 degrees Fahrenheit (that should be around 39 degrees Celsius?), and I don’t have an air conditioning (plus the sun blazes directly into my window). I have a fan, but all it does is blow in hot air. That’s when I thought of this:

That’s ice in those baggies, by the way.

Now, granted, it doesn’t actually work all that well. The air goes from hot air to not quite as hot air, though that’s still more bearable.

So, what are you doing to keep cool (if you live someplace super warm)? Using an air conditioner doesn’t count. Anyone have any special strategies for staying cool in the summer? I’m dying to find out, and my freezer shouldn’t be opened too much anymore today :)
