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

It was bad enough living up north, many of us could not exist in FL
without cooling.

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

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.
