The Amazon is on fire. Siberia is on fire. Alaska is on fire. Greenland is melting. So relatively speaking, it’s not the end of the world that I’m in California with no functioning air conditioner.

Because this is the way my technology karma runs, we are AC-less until the weekend, and the dishwasher decided to go on strike in solidarity. Coping methods that we are considering:
- Looking for urban legend re-enactors so we can wake up in a bathtub full of ice. (Downside: can only do once before we start running short on kidneys.)
- Adopting 101 dogs, and keeping sausage in our pockets so their noses would be all over us constantly. (Downside: would significantly increase our expenses for dog food and vet bills. Also , the cats would somehow steal the sausages.)
- Sneaking into the homes of climate-denier Republicans and sabotaging their air conditioners, since they only understand problems they’ve experienced personally. (Downside: getting caught breaking into the homes of heavily armed Republicans.)
Further suggestions welcome.
