Beat The Heat

So what I started to say last post is that it's gotten darn hot! Petsitters have all sorts of ways they keep cool. Here's one I use almost every day in the summer because I'm a heat wimp:

I fill a water bottle half full and leave it laying on its side in the freezer the night before. When I go out on my midday walks I take the bottle which I've filled the rest of the way with water. As I walk I nonchalantly hold the water bottle against my leg, in the crook of my arm (for maximum skin touchage), at my throat, and sometimes the back of my neck. Okay, so the last two aren't so nonchalant, but it works. The icy cold brings down my body temperature and gives me a more pleasant outlook on life. I switch hands when one gets numb and impervious to the cold temperature.

I bet I could learn a thing or two from those construction workers I drive by everyday. What tricks do you use?
