plenty cooler up there, mid seventies days and mid fifties nights. That is, as long as the forest fire doesn’t swing to the east and burn Tahquamenon Falls state park…
I don’t even have a/c (thus spending more time at curly’s place these days).
I’ve done a variation of your solution: take two dish towels and make them moist (not soaking); put in freezer; when frozen, take out one and make a bandana – enjoy cooling effect; when towel/bandana has lost it’s freeze – switch with the one remaining in freezer; etc, etc.
Sorry to hear about your A/C Booman. I’m staying inside where my A/C is working fine. Of course if I had a pub next door I could say I went out to do something, but alas I don’t.
In my partially finished basement where the computer is. Cooler down here. We are lucky to have A/C but don’t set the thermostat below about 78. So I spend a lot of time in my “cave” in the hot weather. Is really hot and muggy here today. (S.E. Michigan)
No. I’m hopeless when it comes to music. I’m tone-deaf and I can’t read. If there is any instrument I might be able to play, it’s the bass. And I can’t sing either.

Put frozen damp towel on your neck and shoulders, too. It really lowers your body temp.
Key West. I know these things.

Do you play the piano?

I had a vision that you were playing the piano in my band at next year’s convention.
(Actually, it was a really bizarre dream I had on the plane going home…..)
OK. Bass it is!
