Hooray for the AC, and thanks for reminding us of its birthday, Tony. We're cool and dry here this a.m., but the time is coming when the AC's humming will be the best sound in the world. As they say, it's not the heat, it's the humidity, and I'm not fond of it at all! Hope your day's great, despite the blustery conditions. We'd get pretty excited about winds like that down here, but maybe you folks are casual about wind like you are about six inches of snow ;-) Member Since: October 4, 2004 Posts: 195 Comments: 14799
