Beating the Summer Heat Kit
Today is the Summer Solstice. Here in Central PA we have a heat advisory up until 8 PM tomorrow; today it got into the mid 90s (around 35º C) with a heat index up near 100º (38º C). Yeah, it's humid, too. I work outdoors, in the garden center at the local Lowe's, so you can imagine what my day was like. But luckily, for the first time in my life I live in an air-conditioned apartment, so that when I walked in the door the temperature dropped over 20º F (11º C). And my refrigerator is well stocked to beat the heat - Ginger Ale, home-brewed iced tea, and beer. So I'm ready for Summer.
Yeah, right! Welcome to Summer, suckers!

Isn't air conditioning wonderful? Yay for you! So much easier to sleep. I'm sure it felt wonderful to step into your apartment after work!
