    Your mind does crazy things when you're overheated. Physiologically and psychologically. Like the warning for medicines, don't operate heavy machinery, could apply to lots of things

        I can't take hot weather so when I'm in an environment with no A/C in the summertime I can get really irritable. It's funny though b/c I had just watched a news piece on how people experience the same type of effect at the work place when the A/C is on blast. I really don't get it especially during the summer; A/C is your friend.

                In college I lived in an attic apartment with no air.

                During one of the worst summers, right off of the Mississippi.

                I remember sitting in my living room and just crying because it was just so hot and there was nothing you could do to get away from it.

                    According to LA Times Bus section today - So Ca Edison wants to raise rates - if you haven 't lost your house to foreclosure you may not be able to afford to live in it anyway. How about public housing in malls?

                        Don't know who her utility is, but a 6-hour cutoff is pretty severe. Most peak shaving programs for large buildings only use 15-minute shutoffs.
