I wasn’t going to be here because I am tired and I think, just possibly disgusted. But I came anyway for no good reason other than to jump into the fantasy world of Emily Lou Hoo . . . I am here; I am here; I am here. Today we did a little no-no at Mother’s house. I coughed up a minimal amount of money and put a minimally sized air conditioner in an east window. My purpose is obviously not to cool the house but to provide a little bit of respite on the humid days when you have no breeze.

Then, if yo do have a breeze, it is still a judgment call because the house is normally cooler than the outside air  with all the shade so if you open everything up on a hot, humid day when you have a breeze, you are going to suck hot and  humid air in. Then if the breeze fails or there is not cooling at night, it is going to stay hot and humid.

Isn’t this fascinating? I do this all day long – think of all these little tidbits of my life and lecture a non-existent audience. And, yes, this will be on the test.
