Last summer, I came home from work one day and my two dogs were outside laying on the deck. It is unusual for my dogs to go outside at all (they use a doggy door and prefer inside), much less on a normal 98 degree summer day. I found out why when I stepped inside my house. No a/c. I just sat down and started crying! I luckily got it fixed rather easily.
Plus, in Texas, I don't buy new (to me) cars when the transmission goes....I buy when the a/c goes!
> Shar, I hope that you are surviving our execrable Texas summer better than I am; my a/c compressor died Friday evening.....
.........Danger, danger, Will Robinson!! No a/c in Texas? You must quickly find an alternative locale to park yourself. As your name might suggest...a library? If you're in Austin, the main library at UT (PCL) is huge, air conditioned, has tons of private-ish tables and chairs in which to sit, and six (I think) floors. And, I've never been bothered there--save maybe by the odd Frito cruncher...
"Caution; not responsible for opinions expressed from environments hotter than 70 degrees F."
............and I think it's been proven that when the humidity rises to 94% every day, we are actually sauteing our brains over and over--and nobody should listen to what anybody says...
.....BTW, I share your delight at the return of the more familiar names. Yours is one....or maybe it was my heat-induced psychosis that made it seem you were not here much.
Take good care,
