I have decided to reduce my footprint and discontinue using the central air conditioner. Well, OK, it broke two days ago. It is the hottest part of the summer. Oddly enough the evening that it broke, I listened to a RadioWest podcast about air conditioning which sounded boring but wasn't. It actually convinced me to do an attitude flip flop. Instead of wallowing in self-pity and blaming George for not being here for this crisis, I decided to enjoy it. After all, it is summer, right? What did the pioneers do? (Utah joke)
It was a call in show and I wanted to call in with my ideas on heat management which were better than those who did call in. Then I remembered it was a previously aired program so I will share my ideas with all of my followers. (I know you are out there somewhere) (Not) 1) Drink ice water constantly. 2. Go shopping in the heat of the afternoon and 3. (You are going to love this) Take frequent showers...........with your clothes on. It is the ultimate in evaporative cooling. Important Tip: Wring yourself out before traipsing through your newly clean house.
p.s. I am sitting by an open window in my den and a cool breeze just blew in on me. It was wonderful. I never noticed breezes with central air.
