Air conditioning

You implied that the air was dry due to maintaining a constant
temperature which is completely false. If the air is dry it needs
humidifying, if it's humid it needs dehumidifying, neither of which have
any correlation to maintaining a constant temperature.- Hide quoted text -

I implied that my ex-MIL was an idiot, and trying to sleep with the
thermostat set at 77 degrees was making us sick. If it were 77 and
humid, we wouldn't have been able to sleep at all.

Air conditioners remove moisture from the air. By the nature of their
operation then tend to dehumidify the air. That is a good thing in the
summer because moist air feels hotter. Dry heat is more bearable than
humid air.

LMAO! My bedroom is in the basement now, and I put a Mexican blanket
over
it too-yes, doubled<G> When my bedroom was upstairs, I used foil on the
window, it works tres bien.

I considered it but the shade made it not necessary. ;-)

Smartypants! The apple tree in front of that window is too sparse most of
the year. Plus, the foil has the added advantage of being re-usable later
as protection from "them" Bwahahahahaha!

Sadly, our big black walnut that provided so
much shade had to come down, as it was dying, and way too big to just let
it
go.

So sorry. :-(
Black walnuts are hard shelled, but good!

I loved them, but man did I hate shelling those buggers! Not just hard
shelled, but to get the outer shell off first-my hands were black for weeks
every year. Shame such an old tree had been let go so long though. By the
time we moved in, its days were already numbered. Quite a job to take that
big old monster down, too. Tree service did a fabulous job though!

Yes, I know, I screwed the snipping ALL to hell. Oops.

yes, there are gay people everywhere, and they get along more or less
well. (as with everyone else, it helps to have money.) but in some
places it's still the love that dare not speak its name, not the love
that won't shut up.

I'm a proponent of the latter...

too bad you aren't more skillful at it.

Every year on rec.travel.europe there is a huge discussion about a/c
and the need for it. Of course we Yanks are always accused of being
"wasteful", etc. The majority of Yurpeens can't even GRASP the
concept of a/c, let alone why it would be at all necessary...

In poo - pooing a/c they'll say stuff like, "Just open a window...our
house is by the sea so we get a breeze...we live in a 16th century
stone house in Provence, the walls are 20 feet thick so there is no
need for artificial cooling...". They are just stubbornly ignorant...

I live in SoCal, went to Death Valley one August, outside temp was near
120ºF. Amazing how many German tourists were there and they were driving
along with the windows open.

It's possible that they rented cars without a/c thinking one didn't need
them in CA, or that they conked-out? When I lived in CA, I didn't have
a/c.

A/C is standard in pretty near all US rental cars, and has been for decades
now. Back when A/C was still an expensive option (late 50's - early 60's),
Hertz, Avis, and other companies that had large rental fleets started
ordering factory A/C en masse for their vehicles, especially in the US
Southern states. Many folks first encountered the delights of refrigerated
air in those rental or corporate fleet cars, it helped to popularize the
spread of A/C. The first time I encountered A/C (in a "private" setting,
not a store or resto) was in the company car of a relative who lived in
Atlanta, factory air was standard in that company's entire fleet of 1960
Chevy Bel Air sedans and had been since 1958, it was considered a "must" to
improve employee productivity whilst on the road (he was an auditor who
travelled). Oil companies around Houston and other Texas locales also by
that time had air conditioned vehicles for their employees...

As for the Germans in Death Valley, they are Europeans and so don't even
grok the concept of air conditioning. I bet they didn't even understand why
drinks were iced at the rest stops in Death Valley, either...
