We have no air conditioning in the house. We are hosting my wife's cousin and her husband tonight since we are celebrating my wife's birthday tomorrow (74, which means we've been together for 52 years now--where DID the time go?).

We are finally considering getting some air conditioning installed, but we have no clue where it should go, or even where there is a firm that does that kind of thing. Air conditioning in Germany USED to be like heating in Death Valley--it never used to be an issue. If this keeps up, in ten years, they will be planting orange orchards in Lapland.
