Break away!

This is the building where I work. And for the past two weeks the AC has been out of order. They tore out something to be replaced but somehow the contractor forgot to order the part (!!?) and it will take an extra week for it to come. What happened to "overnight" deliveries? Anyway, we have been sweltering. Our director has encouraged supervisors to be very lax with the dress code for comfort and for us to get outside for a walk.

You can see there are no opening windows in this building so no circulation at all. Yesterday temperatures outside reached 91. Inside our office it was registering 83 degrees. How did people function before air conditioning? At least they could open windows. What were they thinking when they started building all these places, forcing dependence on AC?
Needless to say I enjoy getting out for my daily walk. Notice the contrast...






Much better view. We have an organized walking group. Sometimes it's only six; other times probably 20.
