Today it is 93 degrees with a "feels like" of 106. Thanks to Willis Carrier, I'm sitting in air conditioned comfort at my chosen temperature
of 77. He came up with AC in 1902.
It was very hot outside, on the road with the sun on asphalt, it was 98 degrees. Thanks to Frederick McKinley Jones, my car is air conditioned also. He came up with the idea in 1937.
It was bad enough living up north, many of us could not exist in FL
without cooling.

Every year there are reports of people dying of heat stroke because
their homes aren't cooled and it gets so hot inside, even with windows
open and fans running, their bodies can't stay cool.

Can't your Majesty do something about all that?

I would rather put on an extra layer for the cold weather than deal with
the extreme heat and humidity.

In six years, I've adapted a little but but when you hit the extremes,
hot is still hot. Sad that some still cannot afford a window AC to at
least keep a bedroom comfortable.

Local news outlets ask people to donate fans to help people. But even
with fans, it's just blowing hot air around. Dehydration is the
problem. Bodies sweat to cool off but if you don't drink enough water
to stay hydrated it's a losing battle in extreme heat conditions.

My step-mom, a person raised in the cold climes of Sweden, was thinking
about getting a fan that used ice to cool the room temperature. I had no
idea that such contraptions existed. These days, it's easy to find a
window A/C for $250 or less. I guess she must be desperate.
We had lunch at her house. I bought some roasted chicken, beets,
coleslaw, and olive salad. She made some potato salad. A good time was
had by all.

comfy as I want. My cost to keep cool in the heat is far less than what
I spent to keep warm in winter in CT.

I don't spend a lot of time outside here in summer, either. I spend
more to keep my house cool in the summer than I do to keep it warm
in the winter. Gas heat is cheaper than electrical air-conditioning.
