I'm one-- happily and comfortably so. If Ms. Mother N. hadn't wanted us to breathe in pine pollen and all the other detritus of the season floating around out there, she'd have fitted us with filtering gills or some such thing. I'm sitting in the living room, no fans, just a nice soft breeze stirring through, breathing in whatever she sends this way. (Oh, strange coincidence-- no one I know who's regularly out there "earthing" runs away shrieking at the sight of a random peanut or two...)

Our ancestors put in so much time evolving, just so we could live in hermetically sealed dwellings of comfort :lol:.

My point with this long story is...even in the business world, I don't think anyone would probably know how to do a balance sheet by hand or balance a check book by hand if needed, computer programs do this stuff now. 

Kind of sad

Many years ago (early 1950s?) Isaac Asimov wrote a SF short story about a future time when everyone had powerful pocket calculators, and no one knew how to do basic arithmetic.  Then this mousy little man came to the "genius" leaders to show how to multiply and divide.  The leaders were flabbergasted by this wonderful "invention" but soon worked to find ways to use it to enhance weaponry.  The "inventor", totally disheartened, then committed suicide.

Approaching 80 here under hazy sun, still reasonable dews.  Probably will want to use the AC setting on the heat pump tomorrow.  (That's the only reason we bought the thing.)

That stuff makes me real nervous. I get real paranoid when being outside when thunderstorms start getting within a certain distance. That is one thing I think that would freak me out most about chasing in the Plains...at least here there is a good chance there are taller objects around you, but out there you are the tallest object :lol: 

That was the scariest moment of my chasing trip. Standing in a field in Oklahoma when a bolt from the anvil was so close it sizzled before the strike.

Any few lingering , poor souls out there that haven’t installed yet? You wouldn’t imagine there is, but guarantee there’s  1 or 2 that will claim window fans blowing pine pollen and smoke around and the house is cool and comfortable. 

Lol windows open at night shut during the day.. still 67 in the house right now.. some of you that love heat and dews amaze me.. I like the cold and will wear shorts in the winter.. then theres other people that say oh I like it hot yet install the second it gets a little warm and need to be in a nice cozy house.. you like it so hot shut the windows and get a space heater so you can match the temp outside.. you avoid pollen and you can feel warm and cozy all summer :thumbsup:

It was 48 this morning why would anyone close their windows and run AC

I've never known people to be so obsessed with temperature...lol..it is why summer sucks as a season because there is nothing to discuss..it is like discussing the Women's Bingo League at the Tolland Senior Center..
