There were actually two defenestrations of Prague.  In the first, everybody died; in the second, everybody lived.  In both cases, Protestants (or proto-Protestants in the case of the Hussites) pushed Catholics out the windows.

I've always wondered if the creator of Dethklok (from Metalocalypse) used Ambrosia as a visual inspiration.   Just think about it...

It's 102°C in my apt and it's just as hot outside. I don't have AC.  The only business nearby with AC is a grocery store but I dont want to lurk there. I'm scared of public pools.

I put freezer gel packs in my pockets. I tried to make a swamp cooler thing by hanging up wet sheets. Its not helping.

Some birds can talk and carry on conversations to a limited degree. They are descended from dinosaurs. Does that mean some dinosaurs could talk? Hey, Bronte you’re my next meal.

Is there a Starbucks nearby?  You can always hang out there, post on EllGab, and don't have to buy a thing. ;)

There are 3 within 20 minutes walking, but none of them have function ing ACS. Just doors open with fans. I ended up going to the grocery store and took as long shopping as I could tolerate.

No public libraries near by? Or even college libraries and lounges will let you hang out.

FAB, sorry for late reply, just read your post.  All the other suggestions before mine are really good.  Could you try calling your City Hall to see if any help (donated a/cs) is available?  Sometimes programs are available to help with utilities.  Sometimes churches and such provide cooling stations.  I wish you the best.

Hospitals usually have alcoves and a cafeteria.  And the ER waiting room is 24/7.

Mylar!  Dollar store!!  Keep the sun out, darken windows.  I have scooted large furniture in front of extra windows to reduce heat.  If it's safe let the night air in and shut the day air out.

Marble is the coolest thing.  If you can find a couple slabs (make sure they are real, they will be cool to the touch) at least you'll have a cool surface to rest your arms on or try sitting on.  Those gel-filled pet cooling pads sort of work if they are in a shady area, for about two years.

You're going to need a/c.  Nothing wrong with standing by the open fridge for a little while if you have to.

Good idea like you said to ice your arteries (back of neck, inside of wrists) for 20 minutes at a time.  Cool shower helps.  Squirt bottle!  Fan!

Huh? C'mon, what it that! Stop it. Christmas is not so far off and you don't want to be off my list ;) You'll need paypal. You see, I'm making a list and checking it from time to time. Going to find out who's been reasonably..
