It’s getting hot where I live! Summer showed up in full force with the solstice. To celebrate, I’m not wearing my sport coat. I talk about ways to keep cool in the heat, and wonder about techniques people used in the days before air conditioners. Tell me in the Comments how you beat the heat …
The Salad Bar also has some lessons on keeping your cool when emotions run hot, from the original Karate Kid movies (there’s a new one in theaters now, but a writer for FEE says the original and its sequel from the 1980s still hold up!).
