So cold in here

Today it is cold. Yes, I know, July 18th and I am writing that it is cold? No, not outside, it's over 90 F with a lot of humidity out there. No, I'm not talking about the warm sunny summer. I speak of my desk. Where I spend at least 8 hours of my day. And it is cold. Seriously cold.

I continue to harbor confusion regarding air conditioning. Humans lived for thousands of years without it, until Willis Haviland Carrier came along. So now how is it that we cannot live without? Or how is it that when it gets hotter outside, we make it even colder inside so that going in or out it is a slight shock to your system?
