Hot Time in the Shade

Portsmouth, New Hampshire -- Try the shade. Being indoors wouldn't be very nice, either. Air conditioning isn't as necessary throughout the year here than in other places, especially the south. In the south most everyone has central air conditioning. Stores up here have A/C, but homes usually have a few room air conditioning units. Like my bedroom. I got my A/C last year, so I know how hot it gets inside on a hot day outside. It's absolutely horrible. It's just too costly to pay for heating in the winter and cooling an entire house in the summer, especially seeing as there are perhaps as many as 20 hot days a year here. In the winter you want to have your furnace on pretty much all the time because the temperature will rarely crack 40°.
