I’m sure it has gotten warmer, especially with global warming these days. And
they probably wouldn’t have had ceiling fans back then anyway. Devon.

That’s one thing about houses built as long ago as mine was—1910! The light
fixtures are definitely in the bedrooms. Even the house I grew up in which was
built in the late 40’s after World War II had light fixtures in the bedrooms,
but for some reason, we never had fans. Maybe it’s gotten warmer here since I
was a kid.

I really like this apartment, but the one thing I’ll never understand is why
they didn’t put light fixtures in the bedrooms. When I had my condo in
Collingwood, I made sure that there were light fixtures, but I can’t do that
here, because I’m only renting. I did have the light in the hall taken out,
though, so that I could put in one combined with a fan. Whenever or if ever I
move out of here, I’ll have to make sure to make the switch again. I do have a
fan that sits on the floor in my bedroom, though. I must have had it too close
to the blinds on the window, though, because when I went to shut it off this
morning, it looked like it had completely turned over. I made sure I moved it
before I turned it back on this evening. Speaking of which, I suppose I’d best
get to bed, or I’ll be falling asleep in church later this morning. Devon.

Oh, Rosie, I don’t blame you! I’ve got ceiling fans on in both bedrooms.

Hi, Linda,
It's very hot here too so I'm staying inside with the air conditioner on.

Hi Linda,
We don’t deal with it really. We stay in except for taking the dogs out to
potty. It has just been awful and now the humidity. 80 sounds wonderful.

Vickie, I don’t understand how you and Duane manage in that kind of heat, or
how you, Karen, Curt and Sharon and Dave manage in the heat you have to deal
with, and John and Aimee, how you guys manage it in the heat capital of the
U.S., Arizona. I feel so blessed to live where I live where 80 degrees is
warm. Unfortunately, I’ve just been out in it, and I don’t know what the temp
is right now, but I’m dripping and glad to be back home. Brandy is very glad
to see me back home but couldn’t wait till after I started a load of laundry
and entered my expenditures into my bank records to start howlin’ for me.

Subject: [ourplace] The Heat and more
Well, it’s been a pretty miserable couple of days. Not only is the heat an
issue, but here in our RV park, apparently Thursday night, just after 9
o’clock, the well had some kind of problem. The management here has never
given us as renters, any after hours emergency phone number to call. There is
a store, gas station, on the property, which, didn’t have water either, but no
one knew of the problem until 5 o’clock in the morning, or later. It didn’t get
fixed until Friday afternoon. Then last night, we had bad storms east of us,
and we got some wind, but very little sprinkles at all. Anyway, we lost power.
Again, it was just after 9 at night, so the store was closed. That’s where the
managers are during the daytime hours. So, I had to call the power company and
sit on the phone for almost an hour, to report the outage. Strangely enough,
the bar, which is also on the property had power, but we didn’t know that until
around 1 AM, so no sense in going there. Every time we opened our door for some
outside air, exhaust would come in, due to the next door neighbor sitting in
his truck to have air conditioning. Finally, about 1:40 this morning, the
power came back on. So, then we awoke to having no water again. Supposedly
there’s a broken water main in the park, and as of now, 12:30 PM, its still not
fixed. We’re so upset. We’ve used up almost all of our fresh water tank going
to the bathroom. Can’t even wash my face. Dirty dishes are lying in the sink,
which never happens in my house, and grrrrrrr! So venting to my friends may
help me feel better. Sorry for the rant.
Vickie
May God bless you now, and evermore!
