Heat Wave
As seasons go, I've always been partial to autumn. I enjoy moderate weather best. When it comes to temperature extremes, I fare the worst in the heat. Michigan may not be as bad off as southern California, but we've been in the 90s regularly of late, and that's too hot for me. It's like an oven out there!
(Specifically, it's like the inside of an oven - one that's been turned on, and allowed to heat up to an uncomfortable temperature. In other ways, it's not really like an oven at all.)
Of course, it's not the heat, it's the humidity. Am I right? Heh heh.
Lucky for me, there is air-conditioning of one type or another almost anyplace I go. My work is cool in most areas. Our car is not only air-conditioned, but shaded by the garage. Our house does not have central air, but the window unit kicks out the breeze very well. I would gladly give up television before the A.C. Right now, it's one of our most important possessions.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess I'd rather have air conditioning than a bed to sleep on. I'd rather be cool on the floor than sweating on the mattress. I'd probably even get rid of Internet service before air. I could always go online at the library, as I've had to do in the past. How 'bout you, readers? How important is air conditioning to you?
