Patch Picks: Five Ineffective Ways to Beat the Heat
The dog days of summer inspire some extreme behavior.
All of February’s prayers for a heat wave have caught up to us here at the end of July. Even in a city as walkable as Clayton, it’s hard to resist the urge to make a mad dash from the air-conditioned safety of your car straight into the cool interior of a building before you melt into a puddle of sweat. Plenty of places tell you the best ways to beat the heat. This week, we’re taking potshots at some of the worst. Cheesecloth and Water This is a variation on evaporative cooling. If you live somewhere very dry, such as Arizona, pouring water over a porous substance then blowing air through it will actually bring the temperatures down a good 10 degrees.

Patch Picks: Father’s Day Gifts
No more hot sauce, golf balls or ties. This year, get your dad something he can show off with pride.
Fathers. Without them human civilization would have to resort to cloning, and if science fiction has taught us anything, it’s that that never ends well. Therefore, once a year we pretend to ignore our paternal figures proclivity to combine socks, shorts and sandals and instead thank both the men who gave us their genes as well as the men who gave us their guidance. Here are our gift suggestions for these powerful male archetypes. Geek Dad If your dad has always drawn you to the light side of the force, it’s time he had his very own comfy terrycloth Jedi robe to prove it. Extra bonus points if you slip a pair of toy lightsabers into the pockets. Manly Dad If your dad not only knows the difference between Scotch, whiskey and bourbon but can …

Look in a broken mirror and get 7 years of bad luck You probably have at least one crafty friend.

Once the broken mirror is safely out of your house, stop by Expressions Furniture to pick up a lucky new one.
