6. I live with no AC

because it almost always cools off at night and I have a small swimming pool. I am thinking about closing up my kitchen real well and putting a mini-split in there. that way whoever does the cooking in summer gets SOME little reward! window units and portables are usually not great choices.

meanwhile I stay wet and in front of fans during the worst heat. a damp towel and a fan at the foot of bed is quite comfortable. when humidity is up fans actually work pretty well, though the wet towel and shirts do not. LOL
