Guy, maybe have Jess try my cooling method. I have a small cooler, maybe a gallon. In the bottom I throw in two terry cloth wrist bands and two neck bands (one for the forehead). I then cover them in a little water and fill the cooler with ice. When I leave the truck, I take them out and put them on. Within one minute you feel normal, and that feeling lasts for a bit. I also refresh them when I return to the truck. As your blood flows past them, it cools down.

I was out for quite awhile today between morning, noon and evening walks. Yeah - hot, humid. At least at first, but I just stayed in the shade by the creek most of the time, took it easy and found it very enjoyable. There was a breeze today and that makes all the difference for me. :)

This seems odd. If you look at the actual forecast, so far they are only predicting between 1/10 to 1/4 inch rain in the yellow area and just 1/10 inch in the green...
