How we escaped the deadly dome of heat

1. Went to the mall, and just chilled about for the AC
   
   
2. Went to the movies, tarried about, and watched multiple movies for the same ticket, just for the cool climate.
   
   
3. Went to friends' places for dinners etc, and hang, friends who have AC in their apartments more specifically, who didn't even know it was so bad outside throughout the day and kept wondering what the big deal was because people in other parts of the country know how to deal with the heat waves don't they so what's the big deal with it happening in here.
   
   
4. Drove to various places in their cars just for the AC, because the lights went out precisely during the most hellish part.
   
   
5. Large blocks of ice, massive bricks really, slowly melting inside the room, taking up all the heat energy to change the phase into water. It's a really energy-intensive process, thankfully.
   
   
6. Jumped into cool bodies of water, particularly South Lake Union where swimming is not allowed but people did anyway because they'd rather be arrested if it came down to that than die of heatstroke. Also, Green Lake.
   
   
7. Went to cafes, bars and restaurants that had special offers focused on the sort of people who didn't have AC's or fans in their places and would rather spend money eating drinking out than on AC or fans.
