Amazing what a quick google search will turn up. :) <br /><br />I've been hearing that your form of natural AC (boats moving on the water) is proving fairly popular on the American Eastern half right now. They are still struggling in many areas to get the power back on a week after a massive storm system blew through about a third of the US on June 29th, which would be bad enough in itself. <br /><br />On top of the power outages much of the middle and eastern parts USA is dealing with a record breaking heatwave with temps over 100F/37.7C for most of the week and high humidity. Folks that live in homes designed for artificial AC, not breezes and natural cooling are getting GRUMPY with the continued power outages as the utilities have to restring hundreds of miles of cables from the multitude of line breaks caused by down trees.<br /><br />I bet you could write up a great little essay on ways they could help themselves stay cool but the ones that really need it won't have the internet access to read it...Thomas Pnoreply@blogger.com
