Bathe the heat out of yourself

This year, the heat has broken all old records. It's very, very, very hot. The sun is terrible, and the hot wind makes it difficult to leave the house. Working in the heat and going out is exhausting. Even fans often throw hot air, making it unbearable without a cooler or AC. For people like us who work outdoors, this summer has been very challenging. The concrete and metal surfaces become extremely hot, and you can feel the heat reflecting from the ground. We try to start heavier work earlier, take short breaks in shaded areas, drink lots of water, and buttermilk. But when the heat is this intense, and power outages make coolers and ACs useless, I have to find other ways. My advantage is that I have lived in various hot places and have gotten used to the heat. But even I find this external heat difficult to tolerate. To cope, I bathe. I bathe well. I bathe three times a day, and I drink cold water. It helps me tolerate the heat.
