i really don't like A/C.  i'd rather be able to open some windows and get some
fans going.  enjoy the fresh air.  one of the reasons i live in the middle of
nowhere is so that i can enjoy the fresh air at will.  i really don't want to
put an A/C unit in my office (the datacenter of course will get one in every
window, heh) but after today, i might change my mind.  i woke up at 5pm, and
my house was HOT after having the windows in the livingroom and kitchen open
all day (it was PERFECT all weekend, so they never got shut) and it wasn't
even that hot today.

*sigh*
