For the past month or so it has been ridiculously hot outside… My buddy and I normally get some hot afternoons during the summer, however you can respectfully count on the month of June being more pleasant than the subsequent summer time months – not this year.

We’ve had 90 degree afternoons nonstop since the first afternoons of June, plus everyone has been using their a/c units like crazy to compensate for the heat plus humidity.

It’s been an luxurious month for Heating plus Air Conditioning usage, plus we’re all concerned about the excessive energy bills that are coming our way. That being said, no one I know is slowing down their A/C usage in the least, because the alternative is to broil alive in our tiny apartments. I’m harshly grateful for the up-to-date a/c units that my associate and I bought recently, because they are keeping the indoor air temperature much colder than we’ve been able to achieve in the past years. In fact, it’s been so delightfully cold indoors that periodically I’ve been too cold at home. I keep wrapping myself in sweatshirts until I have to step outdoors, at which point it’s a mad rush to tear off any extra layers to deal with the summer time heat. The temperature difference between the two environments has been so extreme that I’ve even noticed some crazy condensation in the windows lately. The cold air from the a/c is producing moisture inside the window frames. I see this as both a blessing plus a curse, because I’m not happy to deal with the subsequent mold problem in a few months.
