	+ ------ + ''2006-07-25 16:34:19'' [[nbsp]] Given the power situation in California right now, I recommend that people try to reduce the usage of AC during peak hours. A lot of California is experiencing this extraordinary heat right now, and there could be rolling blackouts. Run your AC at night or early morning to cool it off, and close your blinds to keep heat from getting in - that should help keep the temperature down while reducing strain on energy supplies. --["KarlMogel"]

If you are really hot and you need to cool off fast, try drinking liquids that contain sugar and other dissolved solutes, such as Lemonade. The sugar lowers the freezing point of the drink so when you add ice, the Lemonade, for example, actually gets colder than plain ice water ever can. It should cool you off faster. +

How to stay cool... good luck!

Line 28:	Line 28:
-	+ * Starting very early in the morning, open all your doors. This will allow cool morning air in. Bugs don't fly about much in the morning, so this is a good time to do this. By about 8 to 8:30 or so, you'll want to close your door. At this point, keep all the doors closed, windows closed, blinds down. This will trap the cool air (unless you live in one of those poorly designed apartments with just one window at each end and no cross-ventilation. Then you're outta luck and it's A/C time). About 7:30 to 8 p.m., when the sun's gone down or just about to set, try to check the temperature inside as compared with outside. Once the inside temperature is equal or less than outside, raise your shades, blinds, whatever, and open the windows. This will allow cool(er) air to circulate. + * Right before you go to bed, take a cool shower. This will help, especially if you have the privacy and can sleep in the buff. Your body will feel somewhat cooler and it'll be easier to get comfortable and try to sleep.
