We had very similar weather.... just not quite so high as yours... we did close the attic door to keep the heat in when the lows dropped into the 40s... and now have reopened it since the highs went back into the 80s...

That would have been uncommon even for us... ;) JM> Our low today is 72 with highs to be in the 90s. That's much too high for late spring.... ;) > JM> A recently late friend who lived in Erie, PA turned her a/c on as > JM> soon as it hit 70 degrees, saying it was hot. > That's about comfort level for me... Low 70s, maybe to about 75... No > a/c here anyway, except in my car.... JM> I seldom use my a/c.

We only use fans... an attic fan to exhaust heat out of the house, a box fan to throw cool breeze into hot stuffy rooms, and a box window fan to pull cool night air into the house... :) JM> When I was on my trip last year I never ran the a/c in the car.

JM> The only time the windows were up was if it were raining, or parked JM> when I locked the car. As a friend says, your choice, my choice... ;) When it's hot and humid, I really do need the a/c in the car... :) JM> Speaking of which, I'm on the road again, starting Monday. Enjoy...! JM> This time it's to "east" Virginia visiting various "hysterical" JM> sites: Patton museum in Lexington, VA, Appomattox, Monticello, JM> Williamsburg and other places both colonial, revolutionary and civil JM> wars. Hopefully by then most of them will be open and no lock down. JM> I don't want to go somewhere to find a closed sign on the door. JM> Happened a few times last year. Can you check stuff like that out ahead of time....? Find out when they're open, which days closed, and all that...?

Crazy weather.... ;) ttyl neb ....
