Tim Tells It: Beat the Heat

Dear Tim: I love being outside, but sometimes I get overheated. What are some ways to stay cool and safe during this hot weather?

--Hot Tamale

Dear Tamale: It is getting hot, and it's important to be safe. There are the usual things you can do, like wearing appropriate clothing, a hat and some shades, drinking lots of water, wearing sunscreen and staying in the shade, but there are even more ways to stay cool. Put some frozen fruit in your water to help you drink even more water. Invest in some sun sleeves or a sun shirt, or even a cooling collar like the Flexifreeze or the Kool Tie. Stay safe out there!
