Another steamy and hot (maybe sultry?) day in the Carolinas. But there is air conditioning. That reminds me that air-conditioning was pretty lousy invention. Before you disagree, just think: Before there was air-conditioning, Congress took a summer recess, the senators and the representatives all took a vacation. That meant that they were
unable to do their usual damage to the country.

If I sound rather cynical, it is because I am.
