We have a new air-conditioner, hooray!  Sacramento heat is nothing to fool around with, and we have been without AC since I returned from Oregon. Thankfully evenings cool things down, and by morning it's actually cold, but as the day progresses the temperature rises until I feel sick, so I've been taking refuge from the heat at the library, grocery store, Suzanne's... anywhere there is blessed cool.  Now, no need to run and hide.
