Swamp Season
Jun. 7th, 2024 02:13 pmJust over a month ago was the last time we used the fireplace. Two days ago, the heat hit: highs around 37°C (that's human body temperature), with the living room getting up to 27°C (I consider 20°C ideal). It was time to break out the cooler.
( Welcome to the Swamp )
I dislike the heat much more than the cold. While the swamp cooler is generally pretty effective in our low-humidity climate in making things more tolerable, I can never seem to get it cool enough to be actually comfortable. It was hot enough today that after I ran over to Walgreens for a small errand, I took a much longer way home than usual that took me up the freeway to Wadsworth and then back to Fernley so that I could run the Astro's newly-refurbished air conditioning at max for a little while. (It doesn't work very well at low RPMs.)
