In which yosnowden provides evidence of indomitable spirit and "can do" attitude
Lies. All lies. With a crackle and pop (and a slight burning smell) the terribly ancient and venerable air conditioner gave up the ghost today. Both human and feline residents were mightily distressed and spent the afternoon and evening prostrate in front of fans. I am rather ashamed of my whimpishness, being aware that air conditioning is a luxury, but there it is. I have no backbone. Fortunately for me, some knowledgeable folks came by, fixed a number (!) of electrical problems and got things running again. The indoor temperature may still be in the 90s, but at least it is dropping.
