Interesting. I have mentioned to folks that Nomads in the desert use wool
hooded caftans to stay cool.  Lynette mentions the sheep having good wool on
them to protect them from the desert. Instinct seems to say take the wool
off, but I think possibly, this is counter intuitive: they NEED the wool to
keep cool. Is that your experience, Lynette?
