I forgot to comment on heat prevention. Don't use things that
generate heat. Light bulbs, computers, TVs, vacuum cleaners (yay!),
radios. I haven't figured out how to keep the refrigerator's
heat out of the house other than to not open the door.

IOW, just stop living until the weather cools off. Sorry, not an option!


There are certain difficulties with high heat and humidity
which we nevertheless muddle through; of course another
option is simply walking away from the house (after closing
it up) and going to the nearest air-conditioned theater
(which basically means one pays for the owner's A/C therein
by buying a movie ticket), or to a swimming hole (either
natural or artificial), which now means a tradeoff between
cooling, water exposure, and sun exposure (too much sun =
sunburn, ouch; waterproof sunblocker will of course help
here), or the beach (around here, the Pacific's relatively
cool, which means the beach is, too; I don't know if the
Atlantic is the same or not but would hope so) or even
go on a trip to where it's still winter, if one has a
good excuse to, say, purchase a plane ticket to certain
parts of Australia (it's winter down there, season-wise),
South Africa, or South America below the equator.

Or simply go north enough to where the heat is more
bearable. The main problem (AFAIK): mosquitoes in the
very far north during summer are reputed to be voracious.
