We don't use an air conditioner at home, so last night we upgraded our fan power. For $75 we bought a floor fan from Lowe's that pushes 6000 cubic feet of air per minute. Put that sucker on the windowsill and let 'er rip. It gets the job done.
For those for whom that might not be a viable option, Assemblywoman Joan Millman's office has the word on neighborhood cooling centers:
Due to the heat wave this weekend, I would like to let everyone know of
additional weekend hours during which our local senior centers will be
open as cooling centers. I encourage you to pass this information on to
elderly family members, friends and neighbors
Eileen Dugan Senior Center
380 Court Street
Saturday 7/19 and Sunday 7/20 from 11 AM to 3 PM
Lunch will be served
St. Charles Jubilee Senior Center
55 Pierrepont Street

Lunch will be served
Raices

This heat is no joke for the elderly. I doubt I have many octogenarian readers, so please spread the word.
