This post is me venting.  If you're fine and dandy being led around by dunces then please stop reading.

I'm fed up with society being tarnished by those who are only out to make a buck at the expense of their surroundings.

While doing some work at home in the middle of a hot summer day I realized I needed a solution to the fact that I was close to sweating.  We leave the upstairs thermostat at 78° F during the day, and I'm loathe to adjust my thermostat if I don't have to.

So I decided to use a fan.

I was fortunate enough to spend Memorial Day weekend in Washington, D.C.  My wife and I went up for a wedding and I was able to see the great exhibit on Electricity that is at the National Museum of American History.  But while I was there I realized I forgot to reprogram my thermostats so they would know I was on vacation!  This meant I was cooling space that nobody was in.

It is getting hot here in Atlanta.  I can no longer just leave the windows open to stay cool; I must rely on my air conditioning units.  We've been in our town home for over 2 years now so I figured it was time to have an AC service technician come out and do some routine maintenance on our AC units.
