Salt Lake City, Utah

We went up on Bill's roof to check if his "swamp cooler" was working. What the hell is a swamp cooler?
It's an alternative to air conditioners that can be used in dry climates.
Swamp coolers sit on the roof and evaporate the water off of a cooler pad of straw. When water evaporates, it absorbs heat and cools the air down. Outside the temperature is 100°F while inside
it's 80°F . Considering it's 20%!h(MISSING)umidity outside and 50%!i(MISSING)nside, it actually feels comfortable.

offered: "Randy Kraft, condemned Orange County slayer of 16 young men is looking for penpals". Or, "Man, 23 years old, locked his 2 year old son in car to watcha midnight showing of 'The Dark Knight' ". A sign of the times shows a cartoon of a couple driving into a gas station with a sign, "Free Bag of Chips and SUV with Fill Up".
The gas prices here are a little higher than the neighbouring states.
