    has a double meaning here, weather and "the winter blues". Can't do anything about the weather, but those blues can be chased away in a brightly lit room since they're brought on by low light levels in the gloom of winter
    With me it's just the opposite. I prefer the short days and longer nights. When it's cool and dark I am calm. When the days are long and it's hot I get both depressed and quite irritable.

    Kind of cold here, too. Barely made 60°F.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Then get an air conditioner.

    I've got one. On a hot day it will get the inside temp to around 75 degrees which is still too warm IMHO. If I leave it on overnight and the temp at night drops enough it will get the room down to about 68-69 by morning. Now, if it could get me down to 68 or so during the day I'd be happy. getting a larget unit isnt going to get the room much cooler either. Ity would simply waste energy. The only real way to get it cooler on very hot days would be to design your how along the lines of a cold storage warehouse.... with about 2 feet of insulation along the walls , floors, and ceilings and removing all windows.

    Besides, air conditioners don't make the day's shorter. But at least it makes it a bit cooler.

    Well there you go, stop thinking and start working. Then replace the AC with a refrigeration unit and you can enjoy Yukon winters, -30 degrees should make you happy, and without windows there are NO days. Eh, wait 'till you move there and build your dream shack, then you can have Yukon winter all year round!

    Back to the subject, KILL ALL GROUNDHOGS! The little bastards, no matter WHAT they predicted winter just won't go away! Next year it's squirrels, they have nuts, groundhogs ARE nuts.

    Keep an eye as to what happens down here and multiply by 10. They claim the SHEET sleet, snow, and ice are going to be a doozy. Starting after midnight tonight and going until Thursday. We're doomed. LOL

    I can send you an extra pair of drawers if it would help. I think the whole family would fit in them.

    That's not a bad idea. Those should travel. I could put wheels on them. Big wheels.
