Yeah I am in the NE. It was supposed to Thunderstorm but instead we still get the unrelenting heat/sun. I live up here for a reason people. I prefer the cool/cold weather because I can always add more clothes. This HEATDOME has hampered my central AC (I may have to replace the unit since a swift kick to the condenser was not effective). So here I am in my upstairs with a window AC.. and why is not cooler in here????? My husband just called me a wimp. I would volunteer to work a shift at my hospital if I didn't drink 2 glasses of wine after lunch. If I left now, I could get there in time for the evening shift.... but then... I would have to listen to people complaining about momentary discomfort (which is exactly what I am doing but then, I am not expecting anyone else to solve my problems).
I've recently seen pics and vids of jackets with fans. No idea how good they are tho.
