The View from the West Hill: Air Conditioning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    On the upside, I'm getting air conditioning in my apartment. They decided to take out the radiators and put in a furnace for each unit. In addition to the air conditioning, my landlord informed me that there will also be some extra room when they take the radiators out. That's good, because I had been looking for an extra 6 inches on that one wall.

    There are two small inconveniences: Yesterday I discovered that I am losing a big closet and shelves in the kitchen b/c they have to put the furnace somewhere. In addition, I'll have to start paying the gas bill.

    Still, when it gets to be 90 degrees, the A/C will be nice. And most certainly it will be a benefit with the ladies, as follows:

She: It's hot!
Me: What do you say we go back to my place and take advantage of the <<eyebrow up>> air conditioning <<eyebrow down>>?
She: get away from me, you're creeping me out.

OR

Me: Is it hot in here, or is it just you?
She: What do you say we go back to your place and take advantage of the <<eyebrow up>> air conditioning <<eyebrow down>>?

    Either scenario beats last summer's version, as follows:

She: It's hot!
Me: What do you say we go back to my one room apartment with a very large closet, open the windows and take advantage of the breeze? I'll try to get the fan working...

    I hope you don't have to go to the bathroom, since there's probably hookers roaming the hallway and a man that smells like urine wandering around the kitchen with no shirt on, holding a pan of tomato soup... Hey, baby, where are you going? Come back!

    Worse yet, she responds favorably, to which I rejoin: get away, you're creeping me out.

    Air conditioning can only improve my situation, and that's a bargain at any price.
