"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

How hot is it at your place?

In Vancouver here its 37 celcius , and its mostly dry heat.

As in the fans does not work ... since the air blown out is still warm.

TO OP: the best way i can think of is wrap your body in a cold towel lol

Heat? What is this heat thing you speak of? Its been raining all summer long here! Que surprise!

Best thing I can suggest for being cool while you sleep is having a damp cotton sheet cover you when you go to bed. The water will evaporate cooling you as it does so.
