The shops are busting out the back-to-school stuff. I'm surprised my nearest CVS waited this long; these days the shops seems to do that on 05 July, shoving the patriotic stuff into clearance

We use something called "air conditioning" down here. :-) We have ceiling fans, too, but very rarely do I use a box fan. I used to have one in my dorm room, though, b/c my dorm didn't have air conditioning. Yeah, that was definitely poor planning...
Air conditioning! Pft. Weaklings. (Yes, I've been to Georgia. In June.) That uses far more electricity, and they weigh a bloody ton! Box fans are better than ceiling fans too, I think, for the same reason that desk lamps are better than ceiling lights - more localised, less energy because you're lighting a smaller space. More bang for your buck, so to speak.
I don't know if things like fans ever go on sale in Georgia, but if they don't, you should come north in the next few weeks. Around here the summer stuff - fans included - is all 25% off, and when it's 75% off I'll be buying a few! I got my space heater this past spring at 75% off so it cost me $12.50 instead of $50. Clearance sales are amazing.
You may have *been* to Georgia in June, but have you lived here? :-) Yesterday when my office's ac went out, it got up to 85.7 degrees in my office- and that was *with* a box fan running in our pod! It was terrible. Ugh. I believe that fans can only do so much, and then they're just blowing around hot air and not really helping to cool the place.
I think fans go on sale in Georgia in like...December. lol We don't get them for nearly as cheap as you can up there, probably because people use them more often here so they're more likely to be "in season" than out, unfortunately. It's amazing the kind of discount you can get on those!
Well I was there for two weeks, staying with my then-boyfriend (what is it with me and LDRs?), so I got a decent feel for it. It was bloody hot. And I was pre-op at that point, and not comfortable going round without a binder, so it was two layers at all times unless I was sleeping. Feh

You don't need fans? What do you mean, you don't need fans? You live in Georgia! How can you not need fans? Especially shiny new fans?
Even people in deepest Canada need fans! Honestly, now.
