It's hot here.  Like 110°F (42°C) tomorrow hot.  And our AC gave up.  As I sit here under the fan (in an 88° house), I imagine I have one of these wonderful devices:

The one about "Cool Shopping Comfort" amuses me... I saw a vintage photo of a local department store where a big sign draped over the shopping areas said "Air Conditioning is being installed for your shopping comfort." I hadn't thought about it before, but shopping really must have been a hellish process before it came about! Who would want to try on clothes covered in sweat?

My airconditioner died last year, and I was lucky I got it fixed a couple months ago before the heat started hitting 40C.

Wow, $249.95 would have been a fortune back then.

The last one looks like a younger Hitchcock.

I could swear that Carrier air conditioner shown above was still purring away in my parents' room in 1983. They don't make 'em like that any more...
