Sunbathing at the beach may darken your tan, but it's not cool. It's much cooler to sunbathe in an air conditioned shopping mall. Or even at a Wal-Mart if the greeter is cute.

      You know you've had too much sun at the beach when you wake up and find somebody grilling hamburgers on your back.

      Don't dry out -- drink up. Drink plenty of liquids. If you don't have any liquids, drink whatever you can find.

      Always listen to your body. If it says, "Go rest in the shade," go rest in the shade. If you don't listen to your body now, you will listen to it when it says, "Have a heatstroke, Turkey!"
      A "heatstroke" is when your body quits cold turkey.

      In hot weather even digestion can sap your strength, so avoid heavy foods. A "heavy" food is anything you can't drink.

      You know you've had too much sun when you have car trouble driving back from the beach at night and your friends want to use you as a flare.

      Dress in lightweight, light colored, loose clothes. Not too loose, just loose enough to allow a breeze and an occasional Popsicle to fly up your shirt.

      High temperatures and high humidity put a strain on your heart. Whatever you do outdoors, do it in slow motion.
