Has it been unrelentingly hot where you live? Too hot to walk? Too hot to bike? Too hot to…ok, we won't go there. Are you on the hunt for other stimulating, but cool, activities?
Inside a mall is refrigerated and deadening. You've already seen the one great summer blockbuster worth watching. Another trip to the supermarket? Uh. We don't think so. When was the last time you went to a museum? Trust us, nothing is cooler than the thrill of a curated collection.
You mean to go to the museum. You read about the blockbuster Tintoretto or Chuck Close show that's coming soon and make a mental note to get your a** over there. But what happens? It's raining and surely the museum will be crowded, it'll be hard to park, you don't want to get wet. Or it's gorgeous outside; why go to the musuem when you can ride your bike or play Frisbee? But then the day slides by with no Frisbee, and you become increasingly bored and desperate. You end up arranging to meet a friend for lunch and a quick shop.
But the restaurant's crowded and mediocre. You spend good money for that extra pound you didn't need and see through blouse you really didn't like. Your 'friend' fills you in on your ex-boyfriend , how he's found eternal happiness in the arms of some bimbo. You feel overweight, broke, rejected. And you could have gone to the museum. What were you thinking?
Chill out at your local museum.
Eh, its hot here by New York standards but I moved here from Florida so I cant complain. I cant wait for fall, though.
Yes 100 degrees, Bismarck ND.
6 days in a row of triple digit temps. My pool is my best friend.

AL always = HOTTER 'n HELL. And we always deliver!
Hotter than hell here in Ohio heat index was 110 but actual temp was high 90s!!! At the barber shop got up to 80 even with the AC on….not good dancing around the chair all day!!! Hope it cools off overnight!
It got to around 102 here in DFW area.
Stickin' my noggin in the freezer in the a.m. helps when I paint and spackle for work (but that's just homones,in spite of A/C.). Then…I step outside at 7 flippin' A.M. and it's already 80 flippin' HUMID Southwest Missouri DEGREES, and the false face melts right off. Good thing there's no one to impress at the office. I need a different job…ut I digress.
starting tomorrow in the nineties thre the weekendhere in little rhode island..and im notttt complaining.after the snowy and very coldddd winter we had!
The heat index felt like it was 110 degrees here in southern mn. Very humid. Just like Miami!
In the Twin Cities we hit a 122 heat index with heat and dew point combined and yes, the museum is a great place to cool down! If you are in the area, please come see our wonderful Minneapolis Institute of Art. As always, it's free and you just might see me volunteering at one of the wonderful interactive Art Carts.
Bensenville, IL, .5 miles away from Chicago (if you count O'Hare as Chicago). About 20 min from downtown.
Anybody complaining should try living in the Arabian desert. My husband and I lived in Abu Dhabi for a year. They put out heat advisories when it hit 130F!!!!
And the humidity there was always about 90 percent.
THANK GOD FOR AIR CONDITIONING!!!
Yes it's hot and muggy in MN!
I live in the mountains of WV so for us to have a heat advisory is hot! I'm staying in my pool till further notice!
