In case you haven't noticed or possibly live in the arctic circle, there's a heat wave that's making it hotter than a toaster oven outside. Many are fortunate enough to have the luxury of modern air conditioning, but some of us have to improvise.

If that doesn't work, stock up on popsicles and keep your fingers crossed that this heat wave will end soon.
