I have had some experience with heat- the dry heat of the west. Now, I am in the midst of my first New England heat wave. Our house, as well as most houses built before about 1990, have no central air conditioning systems, or even duct systems to which you can add air conditioning. It is up to you to figure out the elaborate algorithm of fan placement, window air conditioners, and timed opening and closing of windows that maximizes coolness. We are still working on it. The thermostat in the house says 86.
My new summer fragrance is Eau de DEET. I had orginally thought that I would eschew the use of DEET in favor of a less toxic alternative. Screw that. Bugs hate DEET, and anything that bugs hate is a friend of mine.
