Staying sane in a summer sizzle!
Issue date: 5/1/08
The solid form of water is just as effective as the liquid, if not more so. Ice, in any form, can cool you down almost immediately. Whether dragging cubes sensually along someone's back during a massage, or more innocently sucking on a flavored popsicle, some frozen H2O can make life in the summer much more manageable. And of course, while stuck in this water track, I feel it almost unnecessary to mention that it's always a good idea to drink tons of water and keep hydrated.
Of course, too much time in the sun and anybody will start to feel the effects of the heat. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your life and go hide next to your vents at home! There are certain places that offer the same cool comfort that allow you to spend time with your friends.
For instance, malls are often well air conditioned starting in June. Even if you don't particularly want to spend money on a shopping spree, malls can be great places to just walk around with your friends, people watch, gossip, grab an ice cream cone and just relax.
Restaurants often are cooled down as well. It seems the more expensive the cuisine, the colder the climate. In fact, as you tiptoe into gourmet, it sometimes even becomes unbearable and a sweater is a must!
Movie theaters are another great place to steal cool air. Summer always boasts some pretty big blockbusters worth seeing, and as long as you don't mind dishing out 10 bucks for two hours, it can be a pretty entertaining way to spend an evening.
Pool halls often can be air conditioned, believe it or not. Not bars, but establishments devoted solely to pool and billiards tables, are often more fancy than you may be led to believe and possess the luxury of cold air and the chance to knock around some balls with sticks with some of your closest pals.
Whether you decide to spend your summer naked under a tree or fully clothed in an over-air-conditioned office building, it is important not to stay out in the sun for too long. We wouldn't want all your naked cool bodies getting cancer or heat exhaustion!
