Yay! I can't wait to check those out once I'm at home!
I still have trouble believing people regularly do without it. We certainly don't down here. :D
Heheheh. Yeah, my boyfriend's from Arizona, and he had quite a shock when he realized that AC here in Seattle is pretty darned rare, at least in personal homes. Thing is, you don't notice most of the time - the vast majority of the time, our temperature is somewhere between 50 and 75 F or so. In the summer, the worst we normally get is a few weeks in the 80s, maybe a few weeks in the 90s. For those few weeks, yeah, people gripe about the heat, and there's always a few folks who buy AC during that time... but then the weather switches back to 70s and voila, they've just paid how much money for something they'll use a grand total of two weeks out of the year. So the rest of us are miserable for two weeks, but get to feel smug the other 345 days of the year. ;)
