Avoid running the AC all night

Of course I have insulation in the attic.  I also have blackout curtains over the window and most of the outside wall.  Blackout curtains are generally a bit thicker and heavier and act as insulation.    I run the AC till the bedroom has cooled down.  When I go to bed I switch off the AC and turn on an overhead fan.  The room remains cool till after I get up in the morning

Next three upcoming games are the best chances for Sakon FC to improve its standing

WARNING: Don't swim alone in the canals

	Recently posted an article regarding swimming in local canals. Special emphasis needs be made regarding the hazards of canal swimming.This is rapid moving water. Stay near safety ropes. Swim with friends, there's no canal guard on duty.  Not recommended for non swimmers Probably the first canal casualty of the season.  The young man who drowned looks to be in his early twenties.

I'll be in the pool for the next few days, rain likely after midweek

Get wet and stand in front of a fan  Eat light meals, heavy meals increase body temperatures  Eat spicy food.  It makes you sweat without raising the body temperature  Wet towel or ice pack around your neck, or on top of your head  Ice water footbath  Place a wet towel over your fan, CAUTION make sure the water does not drip on the electric motor  Drink plenty of water  Rubbing alcohol has a short term cooling effect on your skin.  Visit airconditioned places
