Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

I'm in the high desert in NM and a persistent easterly flow of air around the high pressure area that cut off the rain to the corn belt has given us superheated air from Texas all summer.

I have an evaporative cooler but it's on its last legs so I don't use it much, just to cool the dump down in the evening so I can sleep.

I have a small fan at the puter. When I get up and walk away from the breeze, I melt. Mostly I sit and read and fool around on the computer and hope the hell the easterly flow breaks down for a couple of days so we can get our monsoon rains back instead of having them shoved into Arizona all summer. When I start getting woozy, I go soak my head and let the evaporation of wet hair cool me down. It works, by the way.

This must be the kind of thing that destroyed the Anasazi people, piss poor rainfall meaning piss poor harvests.

I'm getting so I dread summer. I hate this heat.
