Neighbor's A/C has kicked on for the first time this year.
Bad: It's only 70F outside.
Good: They're using the AC, which must mean it's working, so maybe they will not die from lack of AC during the next heatwave.
(Last year, had many elderly neighbors sitting around in their garage in their underwear during heatwaves, likely due to non-working A/C or possibly also unwillingness to spend $$$ on energy AC).
@ai6yr Sept 2022 we had a weekend that got to 118 in Sac. The capacitor on our AC exploded. We would have gone to a hotel but I didn’t want to take my elderly dog and cat. I soaked dish towels in water and froze them. Then wrapped them around my neck and wrists. Overnight, I kept getting up and splashing water all over my body and then would lay directly under the ceiling fans. Thank heavens we have a great relationship with our HVAC lady and she was here first thing the next morning.
After a long morning of loading the POD, stuffing the car, cleaning, scrubbing, double-checking, all on very little sleep… we’re off! #Canada here we come.
New: Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin is calling on Alito to recuse himself from all cases involving the 2020 election.
"The Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making, and Justice Alito and the rest of the Court should be doing everything in their power to regain public trust."
@GottaLaff@grammargirl We looked at a house once that smelled so strongly of a certain pungent spice that both my husband and I were like NOPE! We would have had to rip out all of the carpeting, repaint etc before we could even consider living in it.
