But he "released his bubbles responsibly."

All six gallons of them a day.

That's not unusual for the south. Some people act like 65 degrees is their right.

Could you elaborate on that?
Is this some diatribe against Southerners or....what?
I grew up in a "cracker" style home, no AC just fans. These old homes had very high ceilings...easier for natural cooling, a bitch to heat.
Modern homes by and large do not have 14 ft ceilings. Many don't have sufficient insulation (IMO).
My parents had their first "window shaker" AC unit for their Florida Room (only) a few years after I moved out at 16. This was in their new home. I never lived anywhere with AC until I got out of the Army.

It's 74 in my house right now, and I just came in from a few hours of running a chainsaw, sweat literally dripping from me. So yeah, it feels alright if not great.

There are no rules on the Random Thread.
Except no political BS.

California takes their parks very seriously, AR! From articles I've read because of various propositions, you can't ride a bike, walk your doggies [or pet chimps], or play sports ... just sit quietly and read a book [unless it's been banned...well, not in Cali...yet] and now blow bubbles!

What a BUZZKILL!

Their right to freeze everyone else in the room, especially if it’s over 90 degrees outside. Add in typical 80+% humidity, and they become fanatic about the setting on their A/C.

While I can’t say I grew up in the south, I did live there for a while when I was a kid, and spent the better part of this century living in Virginia.

And no, it’s not a diatribe against southerners. Just some of them. I’ve been in houses (and cars) where you could see your breath and it was over 90 outside. And don’t even think of asking them to turn back the A/C.

The coldest winter of my life was the week I spent at the office of our local affiliate in Bangkok. They also liked to crank the A/C.

There’s a reason I no longer live in the south. Well, several, actually.
