everything you could do to cool yourself will end up costing you cash at the end of the month and this has to be a consideration -
they have benches at the mall - bring a book and enjoy it if able.
I just worry about the pets.

That's fine for you and me - but how about an elderly person with limited mobility? Most can't just skip on down to the mall because they have no car - like a widow - and wouldn't be likely to even if they could. Having to depend on others to get anywhere. Stuck in a multiplex without ac? Some would rather suffer than ask for help because they don't want to be a burden on anyone else. They're like that you know.
I'm really talking about an emergency situation. Not simply a warm day.
Maybe a heat wave where there are days on end of very hot and humid temps.
Maybe someone could invent some kind of gadget that would make it easy to use the fridge to cool down a room in an emergency?
I'm talking cheap and effective cooling for the elderly.
It was just a thought....
