Eeeek! Summer where I live! Hot, hot, hot! In fact I couldn't stand it if not for the AC.

Yes, air conditioning! When the temp outside hits 90's plus even goes into 100s and the temp inside tries to win the heat race with it, air conditioning comes to the rescue. I couldn't live where I live if it weren't for the AC. Thus the one thing about summer here, it wouldn't be summer if I didn't crank up the AC.

To me, air conditioning is one of the greatest inventions of all time. That newest techy thing, AI, you eat your heart out! I could live without the AI but not without my beloved AC.

AC in the house is like having my very own personal oasis in the middle of a sweltering desert. Let me give you an example. My mailbox is about 60 feet away from the house. On a hot summer day, when I walk down to pick up my mail, on my way back, I feel all sticky and sweaty. Then, as soon as the AC's cool air embraces me inside with a refreshing hug, I get instant relief and I think, "Well, maybe where I live is not so bad after all!"

This is because air conditioning helps regulate the humidity levels, prevents dehydration, which drains my energy, and therefore, it helps with my productivity in everyday life. Plus, its sweetest perk comes at night when it lets me sleep soundly without tossing and turning in a Gehenna-like bedroom.

Then, most importantly, there is my cat with her fur coat wrapped about her. AC ensures that she stays comfortable, lounges around in style, and doesn't have heat-related health issues.

In short, AC is a blessing I am very grateful for, as it is a life-saver and is making me feel cooler, despite what happens outside of my home.
