Yes…It’s Hot Enough For Me!
If one more person whines to me about how hot it is here in the northeast of the U.S., I’m going to bop them. I know it’s hot and so does my dog…he’s the biggest mope of all. Whining just makes it worse.
Before you know it, we’ll all be shivering and complaining about snow and frigid temperatures. So, why not try to enjoy summer while it’s here? Watermelon? Nothing is better. Italian ice? Grape, please. And the mother of all things sacred in summer? AIR CONDITIONING.
For those of us who are lucky enough to have it in our homes, offices, stores and cars…it might seem as if air conditioning has been with us since the beginning of time…well sort of, but not quite.
Check out Mary Bellis’ piece on About.com, The Father of Cool: Willis Haviland Carrier - The History of Air Conditioning.
Cooling for human comfort, rather than industrial need, began in 1924…”
Thank god for Willis.

If only I had a/c in my car. I would happily rush from my house to my car. But alas, I sit with the windows down. I complain not. I melt in peace.

Hi Anne,
If I lived near you, I would melt in peace with you. Fall will be here soon.
