Why would anyone not have a/c? Hello! What's the use of having modern conveniences if you don't use them?

Sheesh!

Tuesday night at 10:30 it was 84F with the heat index at 92F

I could maybe see not having A/C in San Francisco, Oakland, or the Northern Coast. It really does rarely get over 80 degrees in those cities. It also cools off and usually is overcast until the afternoon. However, if you go inland a few miles it starts to get hot.

Personally, if it gets above 80 or 90 degrees for more than a few weeks then you need A/C. We didn't A/C for a few years, and my husband (a Californian) finally broke down when it got to be 113 degrees. I was ready at 90 degrees.

Can you tell I'm from the South (Texas!)?

Don't get me about the way they talk. I'm sorry,but a Coke is a Coke not a soda. And now that I mention a Sprite, Orange Soda, etc is a coke. Everything is a coke except Dr. Pepper.

I have a/c but I can't afford to turn it on. I know a lot of people in that situation.
