Chill out

CHILL OUT REDUCE THE HEAT Make life a little cooler

Feeling a little hot under the collar lately? You’re not the only one! Summer in Arizona is guaranteed to be sweltering hot. Even though we know what to expect, try some of these great ideas when you can’t take the heat anymore.

Ice-cold drinks!

Place bottles in a container big enough to hold a number of bottles and enough ice to surround it with little room to spare. Pack ice and a cup or two of salt (rock or table salt) around the bottles and then fill the container with water. Salt triggers a chemical reaction that lowers the temperature of the water, so drinks chill in 10-15 minutes.

Refresh sticky sheets

On those unbearably hot nights, place your pillow case and top sheet in the freezer for a few minutes before bedtime. You can also fill a hot water bottle with water and freeze it. Place it at the foot of the bed to cool your sleeping area down by several degrees instantly.

Make a cooling body spray

If you are spending an extended period of time outdoors in the summer heat, be sure to carry along some liquid coolant! Carry a metal spray bottle with 1 part aloe vera gel to 3 parts cool water to cool everyone down when the temperatures soar. Aloe cools skin by 5 degrees on contact, plus penetrates the skin deeper than water to prolong the cooling sensation.

Reduce your body temperature

Blood runs close to the surface of the skin in your wrists, so running cold water on them is very effective – as the cool blood will then travel around your body! This is a great way to cool down if you’re at a wedding, or an event where you don’t have much time to spare.

Make an “Ice Box Fan”

This stay-cool trick is straight out of the icebox era! Make a DIY air conditioner by positioning a shallow pan or bowl full of ice in front of a fan. The breeze will pick up cold water from the ice’s surface as it melts, creating a cooling mist.

DIY Cooling Pad

For a cold compress on really hot nights, fill a sock with rice, tie it off, and stick it in the freezer for an hour or so. The compress will stay chilly for up to 30 minutes, definitely enough time to nod off.

MOMENTS MOMENTS IN TIME IN TIME

Big events that occurred during the month of July

July 12, 1979 Disco music died at Chicago’s Comiskey Park when a “Disco Demolition” night is held. Organizers grossly underestimated the number of fans who would want to blow up their disco records: a sellout crowd inside the stadium and 40,000 outside who stormed the field and lit bonfires on the diamond.

July 14, 1881 Sheriff Pat Garrett kills Henry McCarty, better known as Billy the Kid. Garrett had been tracking the Kid for three months after the gunslinger escaped from prison only days before his scheduled execution. At the trial, the judge had sentenced Billy the Kid to hang until “you are dead, dead, dead.” Billy reportedly responded with attitude, “And you can go to hell, hell, hell.”
