    What's cooking?  People!  It's what's for Dinner! lol.  Slow cooked while sitting in traffic on the way back from work after spending all day at the office when the HVAC went out.  Tender and juicy Rack of Homo Sap and Long Pig Ribs.  Fortunately here on the Last Great Frontier, we're still in the 70s the last cupla days of cloudless sunshine.

    Acclimatized as I am to cold though, even 75 feels uncomfortable, but at least when I run my fan it's enough to stay cool.  Down in the lower 48, turn the fan on with a 100+F day, and basically you turn your living room into a convection oven or air fryer.

    You can add to pandemics and famine Heat Stroke as one of the Death Vectors that will help cull the population as we run short on Juice to keep the AC compressors going full tilt.  This will hit Old folks and kids the hardest because your sweat glands don't fully develop until puberty and they are among the first endocrine glands to start failing as you age.  Also poor people obviously since they are least likely to have AC.

    On the positive side, we can save gas and electricity by switching to solar ovens.  :)  :)
