This hot Claremont resident had a simple way to beat the heat, while relaxing along Indian Hill Boulevard over the weekend. With high temperatures reaching 104 degrees, coupled with a rise of humidity, the past few days have been quite miserable for critters small and large. And the temperatures will stay warm through Thursday, with highs reaching around 100 degrees. A cooling off period will begin Saturday, with normal temperatures in the 80s. COURIER photo/John Neiuber
