We've had a bit of a heat wave this week. A very Florida like atmosphere, with high temperatures around ninety and high humidity. The only good thing is that this is Chicago and I know this will not last long. To combat the heat I have two window air conditioners. One in my dining room and one in the living room. I then depend upon fans to blow the cool air around into the other rooms. One of them is a box fan. I used to go through box fans like an ice cube in an oven when I lived in Florida. That's because I let them run twenty four hours a day. I did have whole house air conditioning, but even that couldn't keep up with the relentless Florida heat. So, I had fans.
I have noticed that the box fan that I use to move air towards the front of the house is not very effective and I want to replace it. Mark bought a really nice fan a few years ago, one of those tower things. It's about three feet tall and blasts out a stream of cool air unlike any other house fan I've ever seen before. That's what I want now, another fan like that to blast cool air around the house. It's made by Dyson and when I looked it up on Amazon I almost shit my pants. Six hundred and twenty five dollars! For a fan, just a fan that blows air around. So I did a Google search. Best price I could find was four hundred dollars. I can't believe Mark paid anywhere near that much. Anyway, box fans cost about twenty dollars, I could get two or three of them. But then again, they blow worse than a five dollar hooker.
