Before I go further I want to recall a little boy. For anyone reading this who worked with me know and remember Bobby. Bobby had a fan fetish. He knew every kind of fan, oscillating, stand, window, you name it. He was cute.
fan fixin’ man
When it’s hot
and you need a break
use a fan
not a rake
it has to spin
to make the wind
If it stops
it might be pinned
by a piece
of broken fan
then you bring it
to the fan fixin’ man.

He would have loved the fans which we make from the leaves of the areca tree. Disposable plates and bowls are made too. But the hand fans have been in use for ages. My husband remembers those long ago days in his village when there was no electricity. Everyone used these hand made fans. Regards

A friend of mine surprised me a few years back when we were having lunch and the humidity must have been high, she reached in her bag and produced a fan. It is very cooling.
