This ain't even on the same planet as the great Paris bake-off of 2003. What complainers.

Good old mother nature. taking care of the elderly like the good ol days. now, all these old people are kept alive with drugs, science and medicine and take up all the space with their breathing apparatus and take up the entire lanes at fairway.

funny thing... my apartment has northern views and gets a little summer sun in the morning. during the heat wave while i was out, the air was off and the windows were closed and when i came home after being out all day, the apartment was surprisingly cool. i think leaving the windows closed and not letting the hot air in, helped... but i see your point GM, a person's body temp will surely warm an already warmish room.

Someone mentioned to me that their neighbor, who is 80, sat in her house for the weekend (with the windows closed) before asking him to install the AC unit on Monday. It must have been sweltering in there.
