Heat Wave

My air conditioner is on the fritz. It has been 100+ degrees for the past several days. Now add "again" to both those sentences and give me some sympathy.

It was just over a year ago (almost exactly a year ago) when my air conditioner broke, conveniently during 100+ degree days. (Yeah, it did strike me that, if there were a warranty on the parts or labor, it would have ended just before the item broke again. My stereo did that, too.) There is a bright side this year: this happened during the week, so I'm in an air conditioned office all day, rather than suffering at home for a weekend, as I did last year.
