There was an airline commercial that had people around a white piano drinking champagne in first class and sullen people in ragged coats around a pot could b coach. It was a joke at the time.
Just remembered that when considering this idea.
Dad bought a swamp cooler 10 years after he dragged us kicking and screaming from the Rocky Mountains to the hotter than hell Ozarks. It was cool but made everything in the house damp and moldy.
If you drop off from the Ozarks into the Arkansas River valley around Ft Smith, it gets ten degrees hotter, and 10% more humidity.
Hearts? Do they really still have one? Guess they do, they are still breathing. But the real question is, do they have a brain? The answer is “not much of one”.
I hate cities. Never expect to live in one.
I see I will be standing in front of an open fridge again.
We live in Phoenix, summer temperatures are consistently above 105 degrees, often over 110 degrees.
When were home during the day, the thermostat is on 74 degrees. At night the thermostat is on 73 degrees. We also have box fans going so we dont have to set the thermostat any lower.
The EPA can scr*w itself.
Bite me. 78 during the day and 70 and night. I don’t mind warm but like to sleep in cool. So so so sick of Big Guv telling me what to eat, believe, think, etc. etc.
Lol. Im on a new iPad.
But then theyd have all these vacancies at the Gulags. Who would fill them?
DC needs to be shut down. They are out of control.
What part of TX?
I think the way they figure 13 years is if its used for a total of 2 minutes every day. Its such a scam.
We’re in southern Oregon smack dab in the middle of the Rogue valley with our front porch overlooking the Rogue river. With the temps in the high 90’s/100’s during the day, our air comes on at 74. At dusk, a breeze comes up the valley bringing cooler air. So at night, we keep the porch door open with a big fan which keeps our place in the low 60’s.
No kidding. Whatever it is I will be more comfortable than I am now. My husband will be miserable. He carries a wool sweater with him now when we visit certain restaurants he knows will be cool.
Sorry. I’ll do it my way.
BTW, cooler temperatures are better for sleeping.
Neither does the Kaiser.
Nothing worse than a bossy girlfriend, wife, or government. Divorce is imminent if this behavior continues.
We went all-LED when we moved two years ago. The light quality is better, waste heat is negligible, and the electric bill savings is $50-$75 per month, so we’ve already recovered the entire cost. Haven’t had to change one yet.
...and Gabardine!
I don't mind being warm. Being cold is another story.
