If it gets really bad I can pack up the dog and go over the hill to the river and build a small dam and jump in with my shorts and just kick under the water. It runs off from the mountains so it%26#039;s normally nice and cool.

I also have a mister on the rear patio and can sit there in the evening breeze and it%26#039;s nice.

There are a lot of ways to stay cool without AC.

Peace ... Need solar? Email me for details on how I managed to save a small fortune on mine. Plus the govt pays me $3,000 / year for purchasing it. The state gives me a kick back too.

I was at my Mom%26#039;s to take care of her. She has an old house with poor insulation and the only value is the land. But, today the temperature went to 27 but her house remained cool because of our attention to windows and curtains.

The brand new house next door had their air conditioning on all day. Ridiculous - lazy.

Well, I may be mistaken, but I%26#039;m assuming that people tend to use these appliances to cook food and eat it. They might also want to be cool at the same time. In case you didn%26#039;t notive, ovens or toasters don%26#039;t really warm the house- they only warm whatever happens to be inside of them.

It is very hot here. We have grilled outside for about a week now. We do use the oven or clothes dryer in this heat. We do not have AC, so I am not making our house hotter. And I don%26#039;t understand why some people do.

hungry

Most like to eat, do you not?

so how would you suggest cooking food? leave it outside on the sidewalk?
