Fans are always an option. They're not perfect, but they help.

If you had no fans it would be STILL hot. With 9 fans it should be WINDY hot.

Well after a day of much need work in my garden, with the temps topping out in the 90s in the full sun, the fans in my home are finally blowing something that kinda feels like cooler air around this place.
During my mini breaks today when I came inside a thought did pass my mind that I might have achieved the same effect as the fans in the house by simply plugging in my hairdryer and pointing that at myself!

bobad has got it in one...."Windy Hot"...lol

Neil Young: "Little Wing"
        

All her friends call her Little Wing
But she flies rings around them all
She comes to town when the children sing
And leaves them feather as if they fall
She leaves her feathers as if they fall

Little Wing, don't fly away
When the summer turns to fall
Don't you know some people say
The winter is the best time of them all
Winter is the best of all.

"Just with local warming of the Bay of Fundy."

HuH ?!?!?

I live a city block up from the coast of the Bay of Fundy ... and it's as usual a coll 18C and foggy ... somehow we're caught in a cold cell of the global warming process. Maybe it's the close proximity of that nuke lectrical factory.

another song that mentions wings, summertime and winter.....:)


The warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow
They've got the urge for going, they've got the wings to go

They get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

From Joni Mitchell's Song "Urge for Going"

WIMPS - Come to Texas. In Ft Worth we are expecting an entire week of 100 plus temps with lows in the upper 70's. And the air-conditioning is not working here in the office. It's 85 at my desk and no repairman in sight.

It's nearing 100 degrees here today (I'm glad I was up early and finished most of my work when it was cooler) and I'm taking my kayak to the lake (Sorry Wes!) I'm almost hoping I'll tip over! :)

Texas has four seasons--almost summer, summer, more summer, and Christmas (which is just like summer but has weird yard decorations).

We're having LOWS in the 90's.
