A relative who lives way down south told me, "Well, you stay in when it's hot." Hello? I've been looking at the forecasts for family members in near Atlanta, Tampa, and Raleigh...you would have to stay inside from May-September, right? The forecast just says 95, day after day after day.

I've barely been outside this week, and I live in Vermont--it will go away soon. What in the world do you folks do where it's hothothot three or four months (or more) straight? Only go out at night, like bats? Have your groceries brought in? Wear head to toe cooling "vests"?

I'm afraid I would literally be homebound.
