The whole family is home today sick, except me, so I am playing nurse/cook/pharmacy gopher/whatever..... One of the members of the family, I won't mention names (but it wasnt me, and one of the other 2 is 3 yrs old) throws a tantrum because it was 77 in our house!!!
It was forecasted for 105 today. I have always been told AC units can only efficiently cool down to about 20-25 degrees below the outside ambient temps. Seems to me that 77 isn't all that absurd given the heat we are having.
Nevermind that it hasnt been that long ago that folks survived in texas heat with little more than a swamp cooler. And not that much further in history they survived with nothing more than the shade of a wrap around porch and a glass of ice tea (notice i didn't mention a shade tree, because, well, we are in lubbock..... what's a shade tree
