I also have an "air cooler" that I pour cold water and ice into. It cools the air by 12 degrees, which isn't enough when it's 100 out and 20 degrees hotter in my place.
Mom and I were going to look at ac units today, but she ended up hospitalized with heart problems
I am currently at her house taking care of "my" cat, and doing some laundry.
Wrapping you all in a big hug!
