Portable, Battery Operated Fans for Hot Weather Car Waiting reposted by Ruth Paget

It’s supposed to be 89 in Salinas, California today.

For people doing delivery and other driving fleet work, I thought portable, battery operated fans might be useful to stay cool while waiting for assignments or trying to cut down on AC use while driving.

Walmart has a good selection and two locations in Salinas and one in Marina:

Target and Amazon probably carry these items as well.
