  This post comes to you from Bellingham, WA (a tad farther north, and it’s Canada). I’m on a work trip out here for the next couple days. Had fun getting here today. Got a bit of a late start heading to O’Hare, but got there …

  If an air conditioner was going to die, when do you think it would pick? Well, if it’s anything like the one I’ve got, it would pick the Friday of one of, or perhaps THE, hottest weekends of the year. So, I’ve been suffering through …
