JohninKS, thanks! Fun to see the update to that angry machine!

ranger1, my daughter's cats in CT have been having the same trouble. Two to them favour the dining table as it is metal and stays more cool. It has been miserable there with the "Three Aitches: Hot, Hazy, & Humid." I well remember those days and do NOT miss them. I hate high heat and, like you, do not tolerate it well, but dry heat is easier to deal with, imo, plus the high desert cools off, usually, at night.

Here's something I would recommend you get. It REALLY does work: MISTY MATE. That is like one I bought years ago, which still works. You strap it around your waist, clip the end of the hose to a cap or whatever you want and the mist it sprays before you cools the air significantly, making it more tolerable to be out as you are. There are larger ones like that. They don't show it in their new, "Improved" models which are hand held, but if you search for "strap on," it shows up. They also have other cooling accessories including the Arctic Tie. Those really help a lot, too!

Please be careful, everyone!
