Summer survival tactics

So here's what you do when it's so hot out that your brain turns to a rancid sort of pudding:

a) Two showers, every day. The second one with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap.
b) Water, Gatorade, lemonade, iced tea, aloe vera drink. If you can find it, green coconut water, so I'm told.
c) Carry an extra T-shirt, pair of underwear, socks.
d) Mooch air conditioning from cafes, shops, restaurants, etc.
e) Greet friends with kisses on the cheek, not hugs.
f) Ice cream. Lots of ice cream.
g) Salty and/or spicy food. But be careful, because much of the time food is going to make you feel a bit ill afterwards.
h) Douse head and face with cold water in every bathroom you come to.
g) Buy new bike helmet, one of those higher-end ones with big air vents.
h) Dispense with bike shorts - too heavy for a second layer.
i) Exception to h) = wear short dresses whenever possible, in which case one must wear bike shorts underneath because one is not a tart.
j) Dispense with raingear. If it rains, one will be too busy praising the gods to worry about getting wet. And anyway, how much wetter would one get from being rained on than from sweating through every garment one has on?
k) Cold coffee.
l) The cat would like a second water dish. Because sometimes the kitchen is too far.
m) Shave your legs. That applies to boys, too. Bare skin radiates heat better.
n) Can I please have another haircut? Pleeeeeassse?
o) Open freezer. Insert face.
p) Nakedness is next to godliness.
q) Always carry a bandana. For the dabbing. And the covering of head in sun.
r) Surround self with the prettiest boys you can find. (Okay, that's just my general rule.)
s) Dream a little dream of October.
