Interesting that you mention the prairie aspect.  When I put foil on my window I was thinking about my Grandma's house in Saskatchewan on the Canadian prairie. I remember the front windows being covered in foil throughout the summers.  Now I wonder if that's more common amongst prairie folk or if it's a coincidence and everyone finds the sun hot and also has a roll of aluminum foil in a drawer.
