I don't have air conditioning... I don't need it, I haven't even opened up my windows yet... laugh
Long ago, nobody had air in Colorado Springs... now, most of the new homes have air... keep in mind, most of the new homes in town are $500,000 plus now, it should come with air, right?... laugh ... dunno
Really, only a few days in July and August that you need air, but, at elevation, the temps drop as soon as the sun goes down, and you can open up windows... I like fresh air the best, and not running something year round for indoor comfort, I consider myself lucky to be in a DRY climate with mild temps...

... laugh I believe it, I really don't remember my furnace running in June... at all, and it's run quite a few times this month... the weather is changing, summer comes later now... but, it lasts longer as well... confused I'm sure it's natural, we might have to reset our calendars at some point in time... laugh
The weather lady said hot temps are coming sometime next week... it's almost July... doh ... rolling on the floor laughing

I was born in Iowa, and spent my first 14 years there... Elevation around 955 feet and 80-90 percent humidity... Iowa is bottom land, between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, black dirt... and bugs everywhere... big scary bugs... it's the first thing I noticed as a kid moving to Colorado... no more bugs...

When I was a kid we lived temporarily in a place called Slims Fish Camp, Belle Glade Florida.. It's right on Lake Okeechobee... Bugs, gators, and snakes.. One kind of bug or another in your face all the time.. It was a fisherman's paradise tho. We had to cross that swing bridge to get in there.. I Ioved it then, but I don't think I'd like it now..

Definitely a fisherman's paradise. And they have been pulling some humongous gators out of there the last few years. conversing I live near the chobee.

They can get mean when they get big, but I found the snakes to be more dangerous.. The water moccasins are aggressive..
