A Free Man has just called to say their air conditioner has died.

I told you things break in this weather. I have a terrible feeling about our old evaporative cooler............

Do evaporative coolers work when it gets above 40? Or is it a function of the humidity, rather than the heat?

BTW, word verification is "sable v". Personally, I'd want to be wearing five sables on a day like today, right?

Oh dear. Looks like you need to just sit in a bath of ice cubes.

What exactly is an Evaporative Cooler?
You guys made the news here with how unbelieveably hot it is there. Hoping for a cold front to come your way -soon!!!
Be chillin ya'll!

HB8 - Evaporative coolers never work. We call them swamp coolers where I grew up. That's because they make your house feel like a swamp - hot and wet.

Ours is back on, keep your fingers crossed. But my office - on the 9th floor in the city center - is not particularly cool.

The busses were empty today, eerie.
