Running Out Of Air

The air conditioning unit has died in the Random Condo.

Of course, this would be during the week of 90+ temperatures. And we live on the top floor. The Random Cat is sprawled on the bathroom floor, which I guess is the relatively coolest place in the house.

Last night, not much sleep was had by me – in fact, I spent a couple of hours watching a CSPAN rebroadcast of a panel on Telecommunication Policy. It was actually very interesting, even though several of the panelists irritated the heck out of me, and the two that I actually wanted to hear more from were stuck at the end and ran out of time. I would have stayed up to watch the second panel, but they all annoyed me even more in their discussion of what “privacy” means when related to the media.

The AC repairman came by this morning and tried his best to fix it, but our unit has outlived its usefulness. New unit will cost over $3100 and won’t be available for weeks . . . well, because the demand is rather high for them at the moment, see the temperatures above.

Many fans are being deployed in the Random Condo. No chocolate chip cheesecake will be made tonight in the Random kitchen. Have to think of some non-cook type dessert, which is eluding me right now.

I am still in decent spirits despite everything . . . I think my brain may just be oxygen deprived, though . . .

This summer has been a lot of fun, hasn’t it?
