What a World, What a World

Phillyist is willing to put on a brave face for almost anything...except excessive heat. (Seriously, when we found ourselves unemployed a few years back we whined considerably less than we have in the past eight hours alone. But...you know...it's just so hoooooooootttttttttttttt.)

Phillyist is wondering what you're doing to beat the heat. Splashing in the Swann Fountain at Logan Circle? Scarfing down water ice? Enjoying a vat of soda and preciousss air conditioning at the local mega multiplex?

As for ourselves, we've mostly been sitting very still in a dark room, drinking half our body weight in water (don't forget kids - hydration is important!) while steadily sweating out what we're sure is every toxin we've ever ingested since childhood whether we want to or not.

We may be sweaty, but once this heat wave is over, we'll be very, very pure.

Oh yes, and lest we forget, the little bit of energy we do seem to be able to muster is spent whining about the rashafrackin' heat. (Oh how we hates it.) So - clearly we can use some suggestions for ways to keep cool without turning into some mad, pale creature whose eyes can no longer adjust to the cruel light of the sun.
