If it were not for the invention of central air conditioner, there is a fantastic choice I could have died about 10 years ago, however my car was in the shop and I had to take a cab to work.
It was a hot day of almost a single hundred degrees.
The cab ended up cutting down and I was stuck for hours with the cab in the middle of nowhere with no air conditioner! It was start to get so bad, that I decided to just pay him for the distance he took myself and others and begin walking to find somewhere that had a PC and a nice arena to rest so I could both call work, and then call another cab to just get home. But most of all, to be able to get into some kind of air conditioner! I walked for entirely about 10 hours in this heat after being stuck in the hot cab for who knows how long. And I finally came to this mom and pop hair salon along the way. I stumbled in there drenched in sweat and their central air conditioner from their commercial heat and air conditioner equipment was care about a breath of fresh air! When I walked in I sat right down and they looked at myself and others worried I was going to need a dentist or something. But fortunate for me, within 15 mins of being blasted with real chilly chilly commercial air conditioner I was feeling ok and gaining our energy back. I called our job, got the day off, then got home.
