Day #9 - Dyevyat (d'eh-v'uht') How To Beat The Heat

It seems like extreme heat has been the top news story for the past month and it is no different here. The temperatures have ranged between 32 & 35 degrees celsius and we do not have the advantage of air conditioning, Dairy Queen or even shade for that fact. The conversion equation is as follows: F=C*(9/5)+32. The temps have been between 90-95 degrees.
