DARWIN BE PRAISED!
The A/C guys are here.
Update later.
UPDATE: It sounded dangerously like they needed to replace the "flux capacitor." But it could be me being delirious after a three hour unfiltered blogging jag. Tarnation, it's been awhile. Fortunately, though, it sounds like a lot less than replacing the entire heat pump, which I sullenly factored into the family macro budget last night.
UPDATE DEUX: Ahh, it was just the "capacitor," no flux. Total bill (including labor) much less than I was willing to shell out around 5 pm tonight for a window-mounted unit for the master bedroom (the kids had the whole campout already planned).
I'm such a wuss, but you knew that already.

Posted by: steve the llamabutcher at July 27, 2005 02:19 PM"The Flux Capacitor" series of time traveling adventure novels, in which our Llama heroes bring air conditioning to distant places and times. Featuring cameos by LMC, INDC Bill (as the evil Heatmiser), Kathy the Cake Eater, Sheila O'Malley (as a mistress to Lord Nelson, no less!), everyone's favorite goldfish Phin, and, of course, Dr. Rusty Shackleford as the Sultan.
