I LOVE these towels. When I tell you, it's a 110 here in the Nevada desert, I mean, that's in the shade. I must have at least 10 of these in my house scattered all over and I use every one of them.

This fan makes such a big difference when trying to keep the house cool. An air conditioner alone won't always work; you have to keep the air flowing. This fan keeps the air flow so the house will stay nice and cool.
