Dealing with the cold

[Jon A.]

This again already?! Holy crap!

I'm seriously considering getting a "I love winter" button for my coat just to stop complete strangers from complaining to me. I just started going outside again without actually needing to.

I just got a vintage Kenmore window A/C unit and chances are I'll be getting a second one. The classifieds were loaded with A/C units fairly recently but very few were worth buying. If I have to put up with the heat I'm doing so in style. I grabbed a newer one for free nearby back in June, the ad said it wasn't cooling like it used to but it got us through the summer. Once I got the Kenmore and verified it working I contacted an independent recycler to haul the other one away. The stuffed shirts running the provincial recycling program are way too picky about what they'll take.

It IS easy being green as long as one knows how to turn a wrench and isn't wasteful.
