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 also.  He came up with the idea in 1937.

I would rather put on an extra layer for the cold weather than deal with
the extreme heat and humidity.
 

I don't spend a lot of time outside here in summer.  Inside, it is as
comfy as I want.  My cost to keep cool in the heat is far less than what
I spent to keep warm in winter in CT.

I don't spend a lot of time outside here in summer, either.  I spend
more to keep my house cool in the summer than I do to keep it warm
in the winter.  Gas heat is cheaper than electrical air-conditioning.
