An air conditioner would be nice to have on a week like this, but the cost of a unit for the number of days needed just does not work out. I could get the landlord to put a window mounted unit in, however that would make both my rent and electric bill higher. Sweating is easier to deal with than the outlay of more money.
Thanks for the tip about the wet towel Kathy. I took it a step farther, I soaked two tank tops in cold water and put them in freezer. Wear one and when it melts and drys out, put the other one on. Doing that I actually got a few hours sleep.
This morning I looked at the temperature at 6 AM and it was 75 so I went on a bike ride at 6:30 and was home by 1 PM so missed most of the heat.
What was really odd was most of the cyclists and joggers I see every day between 10 AM and 2 PM also had the same idea. So 7 AM looked and felt like 10 AM. I will do the same tomorrow. Time to change my tank top for the from the freezer.
