I just realized that we do have air conditioning!!  I feel so civilized.  :-)

Granted, we don’t have A/C at the house, but so far the combination of good windows and lots of insulation is keeping the house quite reasonable.  But this little 35-40 yr old apartment with single pane windows and poor insulation really heats up during the day, reaching the low to mid 80’s even if I do manage the windows and blinds well.  Ah, what a happy discovery.
