(7,549 posts)He called twice yesterday with weather updates. It was 91 at 11am and 104 later in the afternoon. No one has air conditioning. He has a ceiling fan over his bed. He said fans were sold out days ago. He is 74, staying inside, drinking fluids and plans to take showers and lie under that fan if he cannot cool off. He said he had kept his blinds closed and just hunkered down.
I told him that when his daughter in Seattle emailed earlier about their one room air conditioner, we encouraged her to buy wind and solar stock for the future.
This is the future.

(10,749 posts)It's "only" 93 here and I feel guilty complaining given what's going on in the PNW.
These temps are weird. We usually put our window unit AC in around late July or August. This year it was in the window in May and we're using it very regularly.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
