My mom’s place is a couple of miles away from the river and a lot of moisture collects in that part of the county.
It rains almost every single afternoon.
I went to visit my mom and have dinner at her place and I noticed that it was very warm inside of the house. I asked my mom if the air conditioner was working well and she said that it seemed to be fine. She told me that I was used to having it cold in my house and she can’t afford to keep the air conditioner on 68°. It really felt warm inside of the house, especially in the back room where my mom watches tv. I couldn’t find a thermometer in my truck, but I bet it was easily 5 or 10° warmer at the back of the house. I had an old AC that was collecting dust on the garage shelf and I decided to take it over to my mom’s house. At first my mom complained because she said she didn’t have enough money to run the air conditioner. I told my mom that I would pay the difference, whatever the amount was and she still tried to protest. I hooked up the air conditioner and I turned it on. When she felt the cool air in that room, she decided to let me keep the air conditioner in the window. My wife was really happy that we had room, because that old air conditioner was taking up space in our garage. We finally had room to store some other things that were sitting outside.
