Defenders of the Sweat Free
RECEIVED Thu., Dec. 4, 2008
Dear Editor,
It is easy to write about the pros and cons of air conditioning when the Hill Country has been near freezing temps as of late. But since I belong to the breed of the human species that sweats in response to heat as a survival mechanism, I fully support staving off the oppressive brutal heat that sometimes Austin is a victim of in the summer.
I am sure that Amy Babich’s body’s defenses are a lush hirsute pelt that wicks the perspiration off her body [“Postmarks,” Dec. 5]. And the Birkenstocks allow her feet to breathe, cooling her base chakra. And in the times when her body odor is offensive, she wards off the periodic PUs with a wholesome patchouli dip.
I chose to remain low sodium sweat free and turn up the air when need be.
