Beat the Heat

It seems like just yesterday you were complaining about the bitter cold. Now you’re too hot. That’s the beauty of a four-season climate: there’s always something to complain about.

Here are some ways to keep your cool this summer.
  • It’s at least 10 degrees cooler in the shade, so rip up a large tree, place it in a trailer, and tow it behind your car.
  • Avoid turning on the oven. At breakfast, fire up the outdoor grill to prepare oatmeal; for best results, use a pot. At lunch and supper, search recipe websites for summertime favorites like Popsicle Casserole and Shaved Ice Au Gratin.  
  • Stock your refrigerator with plenty of lemonade, iced tea and fruit juices. While your kids are busy drinking these, you can sneak off to a resort where the air conditioning works better than yours.
  • Live in your basement from May until September.
