I could buy an air conditioner -- but what would summer be without the romance of a shockingly cold beer, sweaty sheets and rustling leaves?
  • Same here, buddy.

    Here in upstate New York, we get maybe two weeks out of the year when it's hot enough to seem too warm at night. Those are the nights when I lay on top of the sheets, dozing, while the sounds of frogs and owls come in through the open windows. I do not begrudge these nights, but savor them; they are few enough, and I'll think of them fondly during the six months of winter. I don't want an air conditioner either. I hear enough motors and fans in my daily life as it is.
