I was there a few weeks ago and as much as my girlfriend cursed the weather, I was not mad. You got to understand it's 10-20 degrees cooler to me.
But yeah, I stay in the office all day. I had to go get lunch for the office earlier this week and was sweating bullets instantly. Luckily I have this parking space that gets shade in the afternoon so the car isn't too bad when I get in it. Usually it's like a punch in the face when I open the door. It was so bad over the weekend I couldn't touch the steering wheel all the way to the store. I drove with my legs, it's only about 5 minutes away though. Still. That was the only time I left the house that day. Didn't even want to go outside to smoke.
Luckily, I get to work early enough, that I get to park under a HUGE tree. I have full shade, the entire day, and my car isn't hot after I leave the office. That makes the a/c kick in really fast, and make my car cold as hell.

I can't believe in our day and age that we would still be getting blackouts! It truly amazes me. I know there are better ways to produce energy..there has to be!
