Question of the Day: No Air Conditioning? What To Do?
There are ways to cool down at home even if you don't have AC — what do you do?

Even if you don't have air conditioning and live in an upstairs apartment that feels like 200 degrees during the, there are other ways to simmer down to reduce overheated misery.
Soaking a T-shirt in lukewarm water and sitting in front of a fan, hanging out with a pile of frozen water bottles, lounging in the basement in your birthday suit or the classic technique of sticking your head in the freezer for a minute are just a few alternatives to air conditioning. What's your favorite?
