Rebecca has a life/sanity-saving list of tips for keeping cool - both her own and a fantastic list from Garret Vreeland in New Mexico. here in the UK it looks as though the weather is cooling and the humidity, which I found the most difficult to deal with, going down. Which means that the fan I ordered when I really needed it will arrive when I don't really need it. Fortunately the one I ordered for my mother in law arrived yesterday - she's nearly 98 and moved south a few years ago, so is really feeling it.

Perfect timing on this list. Moved from cool Vermont and now I'm feeling the heat here in upstate NY. In another week I go to a forest retreat just a bit south of here and I'm not entirely convinced it will be *that* much cooler. Of course, I do remind myself how blessed I am with fans and so forth, and what EASY access I have to teachings and retreats. Still, I would prefer not to drip on my practice pages.
