Recently, I had the privilege of taking my first international trip in 18 months. I travelled to Greece, working remotely for five days from a suburb (ngoại ô) south of Athens, and then spending a long weekend in the capital city itself. Yes, it was hot as Hades, even before the fires broke out.

I don't know if you've been outside lately but it's hot as Hades just about everywhere. Like, really hot. If your old AC is barely cooling down the few feet around it, it may be time for an upgrade. Today only, you can score a mighty 12,000 BTU GE AC (sorry, that's a lot of letters) for $320 at Best Buy. That's $100 off the normal price and about as inexpensive as you'll find an AC this powerful from a trusted brand like GE. By comparison, Lowe's is selling the same unit for $449.

Yes, it’s as hot as Hades, and you may look at your dog, in his fur coat, and feel for him. You might think, “Let’s shave you down.” But hold on. Only certain breeds of dogs should be shaved in the summer. Many breeds have a double coat, and these dogs shed their undercoat to cool off. The topcoat protects them from sun, insects, pollen (phấn hoa) and dirt. Which breeds should never go near the clippers? Here’s a partial list: all terriers, German shepherds, huskies, golden retrievers, Labradors, King Charles spaniel, chows and Pomeranians. Brush these dogs gently but thoroughly a few times a month.
