Yeah, that sounds rough. Was the art show still well-attended, despite the heat?

Yeah, inland is... rough. But there are reasons why most of the people live closer to the coast, and this is where there are a _lot_ of warehouses.

 es> I could never go without AC at this point, I'm completely spoiled.

Yeah, if I had any choice in the matter...

I guess there are probably still some AC possibilities in Germany, but society is largely not set up for them. So a bit more of a challenge. And, at this point I'm just renting a room, so making more permanent changes seems unlikely.

Well, if you also live in a place where the hot times are also super sunny.

Solar in Las Vegas sounds like it'd work _way_ better than most other places.

But I suppose it provides power anywhere, as long as there's sunshine.
