Hello Legacy Friends!
Enjoying Summertime!
Longer days and shorter nights, Darker shades and brighter lights. Louder music
and wilder friends, No need for pencils, no need for pens!
The parties are turned up, The grills are burnt up, The drinks are getting drunk
up, Everybody is pumped up!
Make these days the time of your life, And make the nights just as right.
This time only comes once a year, So live it up, don’t have any fears.
Everybody’s happy, and the times are fine, You already know it’s summertime!

Beach Fun Facts
1. Many scientists believe that beaches are only a temporary
phenomenon caused by the changes in sea levels after the last
Ice Age.
2. The ocean covers 71% of the earth’s surface.
3. The slope of a beach matches the waves, so the slope is often
gentler in winter when the waves are stronger.
4. A storm beach is a ridge of gravel and pebbles flung high
above the normal high-tide mark during a storm.
5. Beach cusps are tiny bays in the sand that are scooped out
along the beach when waves strike it at an angle.
6. 90% of all volcanic activity occurs in the world’s oceans.
7. A white cotton shirt is equivalent to SPF 7. But still not
enough coverage, so don’t forget to apply your sunscreen once
you reach the wonderful shores of your favorite beach.
8. The tallest sand castle is 41 ft. 3.37 inches and was unveiled by
Caterpillar Inc. in Caminho Niemeyer, Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil on November 2014.
9. Virgin Beach, in the state of Virginia, features the longest
pleasure beach in the world. Nicknamed Resort Strip, the
pleasure beach runs for 30 miles.
10. The proportion of people that go to the beach that can’t swim
is roughly 1 out of 3.

1. Reduce the cooling load by employing cost-effective
conservation measures. Provide effective shade for east and
west windows. When possible, delay heat-generating
activities such as dishwashing until evening on hot days.

5. Close south and west – facing curtains during the day for any
window that gets direct sunlight. Keep these windows
closed, too.
6. Maintain your air conditioners properly to maximize efficiency.
7. Install awnings on south-facing windows, where there’s
insufficient roof overhand to provide shade.
8. Use ceiling fans to increase comfort levels higher thermostat
settings. The standard human comfort range for light
clothing in the summer is between 72 F and 78 F. To extend
the comfort range to 82 F, you need a breeze of about 2.5
ft./sec or 1.7 mph. A sow-turning ceiling-mounted paddle
fan can easily provide this air flow.
9. Over most of the cooling season, keep the house closed tight
during the day. Don’t let in unwanted heat and humidity.
Ventilate at night either naturally or with fans.
10. In hot climates, plant shade trees around the house. Don’t
plant trees on the South if you want to benefit from passive
solar heating in the winter.
