Murphy's Law and Texas Summers
When would you most expect your home's AC to go out? A nice, spring Monday morning? When it's not so bad finding a service tech to come out?
Nope, Friday evening in the summer with the temperature in the 90s. Still, it could have been worse. It could be August with temperatures in the triple digits.
The good news is that a little internet searching yields that some AC service centers really do answer their phones (and might even come out) 24 hours a day.
This morning at 6:30 am I called such a service. He was already at someone's home. Fortunately, we're next on the list. Hopefully, he'll be here and have us up and running before the mid-afternoon heat sets in.
I'm preparing myself for a nasty repair bill, though. Maybe it's not as bad as I think it's going to be.
But I doubt it.

Is this the time to mention that the it was cool last night in Michigan, like a Spring morning in Texas?
Sorry about your AC. When ours went out, and it took three days to fix, in the middle of Summer a couple of years ago, that has to count as the most horrible time I've had, in respect to climate, ever.

It looks like we'll be back up by late afternoon at this point, so it's not too bad on time.
Don't ask about the bill.

On the weekend? I wouldn't ask.
And yeah, the climate's nice here. I miss my friends/family, but I most emphatically do not miss the climate or the traffic.

Three days? My dear, it was five. *I* remember.

Oops. That last comment was me, not you.
