Over the years I have grown to dislike air conditioning and central air, mainly because I find most folks like a constant temperature of something sub-arctic, and I find that to be most uncomfortable... and unnecessary.

Southern Ontario and summer being what they are, however - hot and humid - some kind of peace from the heaat is required.

Hence, the greatest invention known to man next to the cultivation of tea and indoor plumbing - the oscillating tower fan. I never oscillate it though. I fail to find sense in having the forgiving breeze blowing somewhere I aM NOT.

So, the summer hits, and I lose the ability to sleep a whole night through, then out comes the fan placed strategically so that Morpheus can take me happily to the land of Nod,

The odd thing? Even after the summer is over, I've got so used to the fan's white noise, that I have a litttle trouble sleeping without it.
