I have a theory about keeping cool in hot weather. Tell me what you think...

[CTyankee]

As I age, I find I get physically ill from the extreme heat combined with high humidity. I feel sick to my stomach and a little dazed. I could stay inside all day in my air conditioning but that would be boring as hell.

My "theory" about keeping cool is this: I figure that I have to cool the core of my body so I carry around a plastic cup of water with lots of cracked ice which I consume when I know I'll be out in the heat and away from air conditioning. It seems to work better than just plain water which gets warm pretty fast...

My husband wonders if my "cracked ice" theory is just "crackpot" though... :shrug:
