I joked about it being time to put in the air conditioner yesterday, but I actually did wait until then to drag it up from the basement. Days of sweltering heat finally overwhelmed the BlueTower's natural coolness and I surrendered. This was actually too late, as it took hours just to get the house into the 80s. By that time it started raining and it was cooler outside than it was inside, so I could just open the windows.
