the rix mix

I'll have to put the a/c in the window tomorrow. Two days of 90 plus is the signal. It's early this year. I have a south-facing second floor apartment & no shade trees so there's no way to keep the walls from heating up. Fortunately, there's good ventilation with an exhaust fan in the other room, & I can usually shut down the a/c after dark, & turn it back on low setting for sleeping on humid nights. My former abode was a studio apt oven with a current-sucking 220 volt wall a/c that couldn't cool off the floor over the open garage underneath.
