>>People who've never lived in NYC or DC need to experience their summers. They really s**ck with the bad air quality<< True, but the main reason the summer's suck there is because of the natives spewing hot air all the time!<G>

I remember they told people not to use A/C in NYC a few years back on some of the hot days because the transformers were overloading and melting down. They had the same problem here that same year. In a rich area the people thought they were too important to turn off their A/C. They overloaded the transformers, which melted and started a fire that burned all the wiring in the substation. The losers were without power for over a week during the dog days and you couldn't get a generator locally then for any amount of money.
