3. More muggy days than I would like in the semi-arid climes of Colorado this summer too.

But more to the point, those 98-100°F days have been horrific--exceeding the ability of a small evaporative cooler and fans to suffice. I hate AC because it gives me headaches/migraines, makes me lethargic, and reduces my acclimatization and resultant ability to do things outdoors. But, I have a 14 yo dog who has to have it, so I keep her locked in my bedroom with a portable unit.

Sigh...
