One day in the future people are going to wonder how we ever made it without the X device for this, the Y device for that, and the Z device for the other.

You got something you need to get off your chest ole boy?

I've been out for two days. AC guy comes in the morning. It's not too bad right now but I can't imagine losing it in August

Dude a hurricane wiped out Galveston in the early 1900s. That is when Houston got big.

I haven't had AC on my side of the house for about 2-3 months. I live in south Texas so it is not quite as bad as Louisiana. I have been fine although I feel like it does wake me up more in the middle of the night. MY fan is pretty strong too. The thermostat has been at 75-79

Houston and Phoenix both owe their rise to prominence in the 20th century to the evolution of a/c systems

I remember in the late 90s Evangeline and Pentegon dorms didn't have ac. They were significantly cheaper than other dorms and kids managed with open windows and fans.
