I was hoping to get to go the reds game today, but my buddy from columbus didn't call me back so it looks like I will just be staying home and listening on the radio. I guess I will just start a fire in my new fire pit behind my house and listen on the radio.

air conditioning
I do not especially care for air conditioning. Being to cold is not something I enjoy, I always dress too warm. Last summer when it was 90 or 100 degrees somedays, I just sat around and sweated out the heat. I opened up all the windows in my house and just let as much air in as I could. My electric bill got as cheap as 25 dollars last summer, which was a relief from the 300 dollar plus electric bills from heating my house during the winter. This summer is not as bad since it has hardly reached 90 but just a handful of times. When I am busy outside farming, I get used to the heat, so heat inside the house doesn't bother me. Even when I am driving around in my truck, I don't turn the AC on, I just drive around with both the windows down. When I lived with my brother in my great grandparents old house, I had a wood burning fireplace and I kept the house warm enough to walk around in shorts and a t-shirt. It was glorious to look outside and see a couple of inches of snow on the ground, then not have to be cold inside. Now that I have a house with an electric furnace, I need to wear a hooded sweatshirt all day long during the winter, and still pay a heavy electric bill.
