I live in a basement apt, so I haven't been unreasonably hot during our heat wave. I don't have a/c, although a friend offered me a window unit the other day. The thing is that if I took it, it would have to go into the only window that opens fully & that's also the window that the cats like to lie in to observe the outside world & get a cool breeze now & then. Plus, I'd only need it for a week or so. Lushy gave me a box fan & that's kept me cool enough. I can't even imagine what our troops are going through in the Middle East. And I doubt very much if they have the convenience of air conditioning. And I'm old, so I remember the days when a/c meant a cold shower & some ice in our coffee, survive the day & go sit on the shaded porch & visit with the neighbors until bedtime. We also slept in the yard when it was too hot in the house. And a/c in the car meant roll down the windows & drive 60mph. It got hot, but it didn't kill any of us. Or not many anyway. [8D]
