Hot time

It's been mighty warm here the last few days, which is making me think about cool things. Things like pools, shade, sprinklers and banana leaves (which of course four tanned guys would be fanning me with).

One thing that I'm eying right now is Brookestone's 360 fan. Normal oscillating fans, which hit you and then leave like an abusive lover, are irritating. But this one has a nice even, mid-level air flow that (I imagine) is more like a faithful servant.
