So how is it you're surviving this scorcher?

Today it's 102 degrees here in Chicago. Our top floor pied-a'-terre, with the fantastic view, just doesn't get any cooler than 79/80 degrees. I've got all the blinds closed and dark sheets over the windows. So much for the view. The trees are dropping their leaves like crazy and most lanscapes have become the color of Kansas City Dead Lawn. (If you've ever lived their then you know this summer shade.)

Global warming got you down? Here is a photography challenge about how you're getting by...

What does your melt down moment look like? Hum? Fun? Come on and cool down and laugh a little.(I realize this is serious but...)

Promise, I'll put together a winner page of posts, no, better you choose the best photos!

Give me you two best shots...on ice of course and I'll pull it together.
