Why I Love My New A/C It's not actually mine, or new, but it came with the apartment and last night Colliculus installed it in the room where I work.

1. It keeps my hot, airless little room fresh and conducive to working.
2. It drowns out the little girls who live down the street, who scream and scream and scream and scream. I don't even think they're playing a game. I think they're just playing "Who can scream the loudest, longest and screechiest?"
3. It has multiple fan settings, so I can turn it down when the phone rings.
4. It has a remote control!!

Tonight's houseguests will also be happy. They're driving here from Cheyenne today. They have a lot more gumption than I do -- just thinking of that flat, long highway makes me antsy.
