This reminded me of one of my favorite books, which I usually read every
summer when it's the most hot and miserable. It's called "Alone" by Admiral
Richard E. Byrd, in which he describes his five-month stay alone in a
weather shack near the South Pole during the dark winter of 1933-34.
Everyone there thought they were having a "heat wave" if the temperature
rose above zero -- they would work with their shirts off!

Whose A/C just suffered a major meltdown in the middle of the monsoons, and
just heard words of doom from the repair guy... The part needed might take
"a couple of weeks" to arrive.
