Even more with the hot

[rolanni]

At noon it was 89F/32C in my office at the day-job.

Here at home, it is a pleasant 77F/25C.

We'll try the day-job thing again tomorrow morning. In the meantime, may we please, oh Gods of Wind and Wildness, have a thunderstorm to break the heat? Kthxbai

Soggy cardboard, yes...

I find (being male and hence not having that area to put an ice pack) that running cold water (in Europe from from 'mains' water which has been underground, but a bowl of water with ice in it works as well if cold running water isn't available) over my wrists and forearms cools me down better than anywhere else. Obviously this has to be an intermittent thing (keyboards don't like getting soggy) but it's a technique I've used many times when it's hot. Second best is to sit with feet in a bowl of cold water (not ice water, you don't want frostbite, but something well below ambient).
