Roasted Fred.
I work for the government. If the a/c went out, they'd send us home.

Yuck.
I see you have a heat advisory in effect. Nasty. At least the humidity doesn't seem too bad (although not that great, either).

It supposed to get up to 86 in San Francisco which is like 150.  Our AC is the ocean breeze coming off the Pacific. None of the houses here have AC ,but you don't really need it. Stay cool, Fred! You can pull an Al Bundy and hangout in the grocery store by the freezer section all day. Tell your boss it's work related.  |

I actually built one of these last summer when the condenser in my van went to pot. It would have worked better but I didn't get a strong enough fan.

Telecommuting is awesome.
It's 73 here, and I have the windows open so the scent of warm forest can waft into my office.

A couple of 16" box fans are what pass for air conditioning in our house. Later this week, it's supposed to get up to 92 (currently 75) which is sweltering for this area. |

It's supposed to be 107 here tomorrow. That's bad, even for here. I will endeavor not to leave the house after 9:00 a.m. |

OMG ... just remembered the realtor is supposed to show us some alternative houses tomorrow! Oh god ... I'm going to melt into a puddle of pasty over-cheesecaked goo. |

I tell my wife that I'm not putting on weight for no good reason. It's an evolutionary water retention adaptation similar to a camel. As the Earth warms up, I grow love handles to retain water.

Hot here today, too. Only in the very upper 80s, but we have no AC in our house ... and no fans, either! My husband has stolen them all for his workshop and they're now unspeakably filthy.
Tomorrow is supposed to be less hot.

For some reason, this reminded me of the dopey alternative to air conditioning I once heard an environmentalist offer. He suggested that instead of air conditioning you could collect the whole family together in the bathroom and fill the tub with cold water. The convection created by the cold tub water would cool the room down. Leaving aside the utter absurdity of spending your family evenings crammed in the bathroom--what the hell are we supposed to do in the bathroom?--the one adult would produce more heat in 20 minutes than the cold water could absorb--forget two adults and two kids. (And what if you have company? What if someone needs a shit?) |

I feel your pain, Fred.
I'm in the Texas panhandle so we share some of this weather. Our A/C isn't broken but it's insanely expensive so it doesn't turn on unless it hits 90 in the house. We're lucky and it only hit 87 outside today. Nice and cool compared to last week.
Frozen bottles of water and ice packs make all the difference. I tend to keep a case frozen, a case in the fridge and a couple extras waiting to replace all those.
-_- I miss living up north.
