Next year we're getting air conditioning. If Walmart has a special, get more than one. You're going to need them. Trust. ;-) We have to be able to get them cheap. We be po' down here. Yes, I now that......that's why I am suggesting taking advantage of any Walmart specials in the next few months. In the meantime, do what other respectable southern families do.....get a fan and have it blow over ice cube trays.

Dirty commies........... Qantas sees A$110-115 mln carbon tax cost; to pass onto customers SYDNEY, July 11 (Reuters) - Australia's top airline Qantas said on Monday the carbon tax announced by the government on Sunday will have a likely cost impact of A$110 million to A$115 million ($118 million to $123 million) and it will pass on the full impact to customers. It expects price on a single domestic flight sector to rise by about A$3.50 in fiscal 2013. Australia unveiled its most sweeping economic reform in decades on Sunday with a plan to tax carbon emissions from the nation's worst polluters, reviving hopes of stronger global climate action with the largest emissions trade scheme outside Europe. Prime Minister Julia Gillard said 500 companies including steel and aluminium manufacturers would pay a A$23 ($24.70) per tonne carbon tax from next year, rising by 2.5 percent a year, moving to a market-based trading scheme in 2015. reuters.com
