Also in a hot, semi-dry clime. Spent a lot of my youth, while visiting
Grandparents in Turlock, Calif in the Central Valley, standing in front of
the cooler. There and in the irrigation ditches. Kid growing up 10 blocks
from San Francisco bay is not made for hot weather.

ok maybe this would be a dumb canuck question but what is a swamp
cooler?

In a dry warm climate (desert) you soak a bunch of pads with water and
blow
air through them. The evaporation causes cooling. Doesn't work when the
humidity get over 60% or so.

Probably much older than aitconditioning, and a lot cheaper to operate.

nope, there's nothing worse than winter.
40+ inches the last 2 Sundays, 20" each day. And it's not even
officially winter yet.


Gee, and I was just thinking of covering the swamp cooler since
I'm
starting
to get a cool draft through it.

LOL Those people back in the land of humidity and snow do not know
what
a
swamp cooler is. I see Southwest has $99 each way fare to
Orlando.
Maybe
the western contingent of ROFB needs a road trip.

Well, since I can't get you to Yuma to go fishing with me I suppose
we
could
meet up in Fla and challenge Moe.

Evaporative cooling. Won't work when the humidity is 90%+++

Sorry! Didn't see the ME thing!
Feel sorry for ya though! I'm in Ontario Canada close to Toronto and we
barely have a sprinkle of snow on the ground yet!

No problem...I'm sure you'll get your share eventually




Was skiing to day. There is at least 3' of pack. Beautiful day on the
slopes at Squaw Valley. Left home 40 miles from San Francisco at 7 AM
skiing at 10:30 am and back home at 7:30 pm. Snow in Calif is good. Stays
mostly in the mountains where it is useful. Both for skiing and snowpack
for water storage. Non of that snow that you have to shovel where people
really live.

I still caught as many fish as you did though...

Yep! As horrid as it is now, that's how gorgeous the summers are.
Unfortunately
winter is twice as long as summer
