*drools* 75 sounds amazing right now, you have no idea. Our heat index this afternoon was 109, and has been in the 100s for weeks.
Yeah, I have no idea how people managed before AC down here, gah. If it gets above 80 outside, which it does for pretty much April-October, I can't really function without AC.
I would think Seattle would do a booming business in window air conditioners. $200 doesn't seem too bad for something that would get used two or three weeks a year for however long the machine lasts. (I had two window units in my apartment, and they managed two Tennessee summers, plus two from the tenant before me, so surely with only a little use per year, they could manage almost indefinitely.)
