I'm melting...
... actually not.
I turned on the air conditioner this morning as the forecast was for it to hit at least 85 today (I've decided that's my threshold for switching from fans to air conditioner).
I'd known I was going to have it on for a few days, but the 7-day forecast on tonights news says it won't drop to 85 anytime in the next week.
Worse, Wednesday is predicted to have a high on 100 (38C) and Thursday 106 (41C) or *higher*. Might even set a new record (old record is 107 (42C))
I don't expect the air conditioner to be able to deal with all of that but if it can keep the areas of the apartment I use in the low 80s, that'll be fine.

Besides me having air conditioning, the Community room here has air conditioning. And a TV and Bluray player.

When I bought my house I figured if it got too hot I could arrange a fan to blow cool air from the full basement upstairs. Or even stay downstairs if the heat was too bad.
Uh-Uh.
Didn't take me long for me to get a small window unit for the bedroom (heat during the day being less important then, since work was air conditioned). Then another for my living room. Then my Dad gave me a big 220 Volt window unit which went in my dining room, not coincidentally the hottest room in the house.
When I had to replace my furnace a few years ago I got a heat pump, which heats and cools the whole house. Usually.
The tree I planted in the front yard shortly after moving in is much taller, now, and shades the front in the morning. However, during Summer the afternoon Sun still shines directly in the dining room windows.

It hit 99 yesterday, and the AC managed to keep the living room/kitchen in the low 80s.
I just hope we don't overload the local power grid when things get up to 105 and higher.
