Yesterday the AC seemed to fail about 5pm. Indoor temps climbed ten degrees. I rebooted it and it seemed to start working.

Any power trouble yesterday UT?

We don't have AC here since we think we live in the North... Time to start pricing property closer to Canada. Hmmm... Canadian banks are solvent.

If you'd rather spend the day shoveling two feet of fucking snow than go to work, you should be looking for a new job... seriously.

My power was down to 112 volts RMS yesterday, and seems to be the same today.

I have been - just unsuccessfully. I much prefer the cold to the heat. I can always add more clothes to keep warm.

Anyway - the official reading here at the moment is ....

Temp - - - - -100.6 °F
Heat Index- - 105 °F

Looks like summer.

Mexico and Central America are cooler than much of the US.
