Ahhhh...

...that's the sound of a happy person. The cooler is fixed (at least it's pretending to be and pretending well) and, although the humidity hovers between 20-35% or higher and a swamp cooler is rendered impotent at that level of humidity, at least the air is moving. It's 77° instead of 85°. I can live with this.

The savings account took a beating; but, I suppose that's what savings accounts are for. If I hadn't had the funds tucked away, and the all-suffering empathic heart of a compassionate man, I'd still be suffering.

Now for a nite of gratitude and enjoyment.
