Air conditioners for people who move around a lot

Rent an AC will rent you an air conditioner for between $125-$299 per summer. Given how much air conditioners cost these days, it doesn't seem like a particularly good deal, unless you're really lazy, don't have a place to put the thing in the fall, are deathly afraid of dropping it out the window (they do provide installation by "trained professionals") or are tired of lugging a big heavy unit around when you move every September.

Via, via.

To the solstice

Summer lies over the meadow crest
of the longest day --
generation, heat, and green --
and I wink back. ...

Hot Fun in the Summertime

OK, maybe not so fun, exactly. I was personally passed out on my couch, sweating all day. My cats were acting like beached whales, stretched out on the shadier parts of the rug.

In JP, we all went to JP Licks. The place was PACKED!
