REFLECTOR: 12v Cooler

Mitch I use frozen water bottles so the air can circulate better than
blowing on the surface of water.  It increases the surface area greatly.
For what it's worth.  I also occasionally use a post op knee cooler.  It
is a ice water circulator that is used after knee surgery with a small
cooler and pump.  I attached a 12v plug and use it on my seat to sit on
for more cooling.  They are expensive but I was given one by a
recovering patient.  Works well for me.

I jsut bought one of those "koolair" deivices you place on top of a
25quart 
coolor.....it DOES blow cold air but its NO WHERE NEAR enough to even
make 
the slightest difference.  It costs around $40....but doesnt work
....Got to 
look into something else!!!

Thanks
Mitch
