somebody was thinking

when they built my house back in the 1930's.....the oak tree out front shades the living room in the morning, and the big pecans out back give shade from the afternoon sun....but in this global warming weather, I still have to turn on the AC before actual Summer....or I would melt sitting on the sofa.....high ceilings, ceiling fans, big crawl space....these things help I guess....actually, looking back at energy bills from last Summer months, running the AC isn't all that bad, money-wise....but sitting outside isn't really an option when the heat index is over 100....just not pleasant at all....
