of course. that's the only thing i can say.
our swamp cooler, mentioned in a post a few weeks ago, broke today. the fan seized up, or something. i don't know much about how to work them, nor am i mechanically inclined in the least, so i can't fix it.
but, luckily, we got a free home warranty from the real estate agents when we signed with them. i called the home warranty company, but it turns out that air conditioners AND swamp coolers are not covered. OF COURSE!
and, the temperatures are hovering just below 100 degrees Fahrenheit (about 36 degree Celsius for you foreigners). with this sickening heat, i can't imagine i'll get too much sleep tonight.
well, we're leaving for the weekend tomorrow afternoon. so, we won't be home. this is both good AND bad, as we'll be out of the hot house, but we won't be home so that it can be repaired.
and, to come to think of it, i don't even know IF it can be repaired. hell, it might need to be replaced, which would be the worst kind of luck. those things cost a pretty penny.
anyway, we're out of town this weekend. we're going toa little town called Ely, Nevada for a little weekend jaunt. we're taking a quaint little mining train ride where a wine tasting will take place. and, we're staying at a cool hotel called the Hotel Nevada. the trip is much needed with all the stress we are experiencing right now.
i just hope this fucking swamp cooler thing doesn't cost us an arm and leg. one or the other would be fine, but not both!

seriously....everyone knows Fahrenheit is better than that damned Celsius.
you should try the train thing out. i went on one here in Utah, but this will be the first time on the Nevada one. i'm pretty excited to get out of town for a bit. a short, but needed, respite from the craziness.
peace.
it really is, Chris. i have to work with Celsius in my job, but i hate it. the gradations are so course that we have to use tenths of a degree. Fahrenheit isn't so, and if tenths were needed, they are even finer is accuracy.
the trip was great. the train ride was a blast. good wine, good company. a good time all around.
