.....Amazing - two threads in one digest I can relate to, but  last first:  I 
had JUST read a  link about the Aussie MiraCool  neck bandana.  I had bought 
something similar when I went  to Phoenix in July on vacation some time back.  
It did  work.  I still got heat stroke (well I'm a Scot via New York so 
that's a  given), but I didn't die in the 104 degree ("but it's a dry") heat.  When 
I  first read Steve's post I thought of those water misters people in Az (and 
other  hot states) use around their swimming pools and lanais -- they project 
a fine  cooling mist into the air and one can purchase a portable version - 
but then  imagined amps shorting out....not a good thing, so this would be the  
best possibility.  I wonder if keeping one's feet cool at the same  time 
would help - since that tends to cool the entire body as well -- and who  would 
know if you're sitting down hidden by the walls of the Gazebo? (or maybe  the 
site makes something similar to install in your shoes?)(I haven't looked at  
every product yet). In re drinking water -- I'd also make sure my  bottled water 
had the "squeeze" tops.  Makes it a lot easier and faster to  get a quick 
drink.  No one mentioned "sports" drinks....they might  replenish your 
electrolytes and keep you hydrated as  well.          _Click here: MiraCool_
