Yup, we can ask both Siri & Alexa to crank up the AC. But
alas, I still have to get off my duff & close the blinds
manually like a caveman... ;)
The horror!
My Dad is in the same boat, he doesn't have AC either. On
very hot days he closes up all the curtains and will
retreat to the basement. When he's had enough of that
he'll grab the dog and drive up the road to Longs Lake
where they have a dog beach and go swimming.
A few years ago I fitted a portable A/C's "vent" into my living
room's sliding door (using stiff foam and duct tape), but that
provided gaps for mosquitos to slip in around the "opened"
screen part. I would rather contend with humdity and heat by
strolling around naked or a wet towel than fight off mosquitos.
So.. I stopped using the machine after I learned that most
intolerable hot days are relatively few.
Something tells me your cat(s) wouldn't appreciate a dip in
the lake. ;)
The cats seem to find natural cool zones such as tall grass and
shade. Unfortunately, I think they also seem to pick up fleas
there too. Time to treat them with the chemicals which they
hate. When they'd hear me pop open one of those treament viles,
they'd scatter. :D
