Aww ... I was hoping for something a little less ... jury-rigged. Like maybe a homemade swamp cooler.

I'd go for that! Someone comes up with an idiot-proof design and I'd buy a copy of the plans.

Man, it's been hot!

You can buy a new swamp cooler, with the same basic design as the old Thermadors ...

It works a LOT better in dry climates though. I live right on the ocean so it wouldn't do a thing. Way too humid here.

If you'd just wire the Mullet up off your neck a few inches, you'd be 20 degrees cooler.....

Oh Well........
