We didnrsquot have much of a winter and our thermometers have already reached 90+

degrees several times already Many of us have air-conditioning but hesitate to use it due to high electric bills So here are a few old-school hints for beating the heat First off close the curtains and blinds on the side of the house that receives the sunlight full blast The US Department of Energy estimates that you can reduce the amount of heat that enters your home or apartment by at least 45 percent if yoursquore able to do this If yoursquore home during the day you should be able to block the sunrays coming from the east in the morning and then from the west in the afternoon By opening the blinds or raising the shades on the opposite side of the house from the incoming sunlight you can still let in enough sunlight to keep from having to turn on the lights

Donrsquot waste money by leaving the fan on when you leave the house Fans donrsquot actually lower the roomrsquos temperaturemdashthey simply make you feel cooler by having air move across your body

Isnrsquot it sad when itrsquos hotter in the house than it is outside Close your windows when the outdoor temperature is above 77 (Seventy-seven is the magic number because most people start to perspire at 78 degrees) Whenever itrsquos hotter outside than inside the heat can seep into your house or apartment through open windows When it starts cooling off at night open your windows and let in some of that cool air You might even want to try putting that box fan in the window and sucking the hot air out (Be sure that you have the fan facing the right way when you do this)

Summer el-cheapo handy hints patricia A murray

So glad to be back

Look for the Skywriter every monthmdashit will be uploaded around the 15th of each month

hellip and donrsquot forget to listen toRadio Skywriter

every Saturday from 830 to 9amon WNCU 907fm and wncuorg

For more info and to be a guest on the show get in touch with me (see contact info above)

Irsquom always on the lookout for positive and useful news and information If you have news would like to be interviewed

or want to advertise call 919-809-9682 or send email to durhamskywriteryahoocom

If you run around a lot from place to place during the hottest part of the day wet the center of a hand towel (kitchen-size towel) and drape it around your neck Spritzing your face and wetting your wrists with cool water can help too

Ceiling fans are a true godsend If you donrsquot have one in your bedroom and the rooms you spend most of your time in get them installed as soon as possible You can save a fortune by using ceiling fans in the rooms yoursquore in instead of cooling your entire house

Itrsquos funny how so many people wear less and less as the summer gets hotter Itrsquos actually much cooler to wear loose-fitting natural (cotton or linen) clothing rather than tight synthetic outfits Being able to trap a layer of air between your body and your clothes is more comfortable than allowing the rays of the sun to beat down on you If yoursquore wearing loose clothing your body cools a bit as the evaporation of your sweat lingers in your clothing before drying Light colors reflect heat better than dark colors (This fact pertains only to clothing not skin Donrsquot forget that sunblock)

Speaking of sweat evaporating hellip thatrsquos precisely what cools you off when you eat hot foods during the summer It might sound crazy but people in hot climates like those found in India Mexico and Brazil eat hot spicy food when they want to cool off In fact vendors on some Brazilian beaches have been known to sell hotmdashnot icedmdashtea to cool people off

Your body temperature rises as you lose water through perspirationmdashso be sure to stay hydrated Carrying water in one of those water bottlesthermoses that clip on belt loops or that come with shoulder straps comes in handy when itrsquos hot out

Cut down on the meat when itrsquos hot As your body works to digest meat (especially beef ) the temperature of your body rises and you feel sluggish Itrsquos much easier on your digestive system when you stick to foods that break down quicklymdashfruits salads and foods with lots of water (to keep you hydrated) Itrsquos also easier on your system when you keep your intake lightmdashsmaller meals more often In other words donrsquot eat an entire meal all at once you can start with a sandwich but eat the salad or other side dish a little later on

You can save on your electric bill if you hang your clothes outside to dry If yoursquore unable to string a line from your house to a tree or shed you might want to consider the lightweight portable types that theyrsquore selling online They often come in two parts the bottom half opens like a tripod and the top half opens up like an umbrella and comes with several rows of clothing line You can hang your undies in the inside layers and shield them from neighborsrsquo eyes with towels and shirts which you can hang on the outside layer

If you lightly spritz your top sheet right before going to bed yoursquoll be able to stay cool until you drop off to sleep

Summer el-cheapo handy hintsHope yoursquore staying busy this summer For me staying busy means increasing the opportunity to bring in enough cash to pay the bills

Irsquom really getting my hustle on this summermdashndashDJing (as DJ Piddipat) on Fridays at the WD Hill Recreation Centerrsquos outdoor roller rink and on Sundays at Durham Central Park doing some freelance photography for the Durham Convention and Visi-tors Bureau keeping the Skywriter (and Radio Skywriter) going occasional freelance work with Blueprint North Carolina and the North Carolina Justice Center and working on a book for care- givers of Alzheimerrsquos patients on the side

Irsquove been saying this since the 1990s Instead of relying on a con-ventional 9-to-5 job you might have to make up your own Irsquom not putting down having a regular jobmdashactually I feel that the best way to become an entrepreneur is to start out working for somebody else Therersquos nothing like have a demanding boss hold-ing your feet to the fire when it really counts That way yoursquore

Publisherrsquos pitchable to develop a good work ethic and learn how to keep working even when you donrsquot feel like it Plus you canrsquot beat having health and dental benefits Thatrsquos a real godsend and not to be taken for granted

Still for the rest of us who have to find our own work itrsquos an interesting challenge You can muddle through as Irsquom doing right now you can fall flat on your face and give up or you can achieve heights you never even dreamed of That last one is what Irsquom working toward For those of you in similar circumstances keep at it You canrsquot win if you donrsquot play Keep looking for opportunities wherever you go and donrsquot wait for them to come to you Letrsquos have a great summer

Betcha didnrsquot know that hellip

The word ldquoautomobilerdquo came about by pairing ldquoautordquo meaning ldquoselfrdquo (in ancient Greek) with ldquomobilerdquo which means ldquoto moverdquo Something that moves itself (Back in the olden days you needed to attach an ani-mal such as a horse to a wheeled cart in order to get anywhere) Through the years the word ldquoautomobilerdquo has been shortened to ldquoautordquo Historians have traced the word ldquocarrdquo from ldquocarrusrdquo which means ldquowheeled vehiclerdquo in Latin and ldquocarrerdquo from Old Middle Eng-lish Now we just say ldquocarrdquo In 1898 members of the New York City Police Department used to chase speeding motoristsmdashmdashon their bicycles The motorists must not have been going all that fast
