How do you stay cool?

Just wondering with this hot weather. I stay inside and crank the AC.

Of course some of you are so cool that the temp doesn't matter.

Maybe the title should be "I'm so cool that...."

I make sure when we are imaging computers over the summer that we pick rooms without A/C to start early in the morning and by the afternoon move into rooms with climate controls build right in.

Set the thermostat to 60 degrees? Don't mind if I do

I do alot of driving, and always have the A/C cranked up, If I do work outside very long, I hope there is a wind to blow the stink away. I used to work in manufacturing back in the day, and I had a neck wrap that you soaked in water before hand and it would stay cool for a while, but after it warmed up, it was just collecting sweat, and nearly the same temperature as you, or hotter, and wet and slimy.. I quit wearing it, it seemed a little ghay.. and only worked for about the first hour or less. Other people would wear full long sleeve shirts and I thought they were crazy, but the sweat would soak them and cool them off. They preferred it that way.. I never tried it, so don't know.

last night, I took the girls to the city swimming pool, its hard to look cool when your trying to hide fact that beaaauutiful girls are running around in skimpy bathing suits.. Thank goodness I put my contact lenses in. : )
