[QUOTE="R. M. Perkins, post: 427837, member: 3867"] I'm wondering if anybody has any cool tricks for beating the Summer heat. We have our air conditioner set at 82F (28C), and we are surviving by wearing minimal clothing, going barefooted, and keeping the air moving with a fan. Years ago -- when I was a bachelor -- I managed to survive quite a few Summers without any AC by taking the sheets off my bed every night, soaking them in water, wringing them out, putting them back on the bed, and sliding in between the wet sheets. I know it sounds crazy, but it's amazingly refreshing once you get used to it. All I can say is that you'll try just about anything after your second or third night without sleep. Unfortunately my wife -- who supports me in nearly every other thing in life -- has nixed that idea. She's concerned about getting the mattress moldy, and that's definitely a possibility if the sheets don't completely dry before the next morning. So anywho, does anybody else have any good tricks for beating the heat? [/QUOTE]
