"No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater than central air." It took from just after noon until damned near six o'clock, but the technicians from Terry Allen finally got our new air conditioner installed and operating. The house is very nearly back to the lovely temperature at which it is generally maintained, or at least the air inside the house is at just about the proper temp. One more victory, my friends, in the war of Man versus Nature. Screw you, prevailing atmospheric conditions, you're not the boss of me! My house will be as warm or as cool as I see fit. Bwa ha ha ha ha!

And of what is air conditioning a product? That's right: science. Science!
