Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 24, 2020

Whatever is necessary.

Way to go, Arlo. I sense a chill from Janis.

Janis, is it so hot that you put on just your most summery PJ’s?

Honest question from a non American, why do you put the AC so low when it is so hot outside. For the night 75F is still quite confortable as long as you put on light pj and light blanket. And during the day when we visited the constant hot/freezing/hot as you go in and out was unpleasant. Is hat a cultural habit?

For Arlo, the heat is already turned up.

What’s with Arlo? He’s missing something important here!

Come on, Arlo, you can find ways to turn up the temperature that that.

I think Arlo has the right idea. Turn the temperature up a few more degrees and Janis will come out of those summery pjs and into some nice lingerie ….or nothing at all!:-)

Some of us, mostly women, totally agree with you. If I have to put on a sweater to watch tv, it’s too cold!

At 75F, I’m already sweating, cab. Not a problem during the day, but I don’t need that at night.

Pretend it’s Xmas! Unwrap each other!

To, um, save electricity. Right, Arlo?

There is no normal when it comes to setting the thermostat.

It is the humidity that is the problem. I am a science teacher.

Minneapolis, MN. Last weekend-the temp was 90F and the Dew point was 80F. So it was 110 on your skin. The water vapor was so thick-the sweat does not evaporate off of you and makes you feel hotter. I call it a sweat blanket.

AC is a savior for that.

But no worries-In another few months-we could have snow.

I can’t believe Arlo missed that opportunity! He’s really slipping. Although the invitation to wear even less bodes well for the future. Hmmmm… Immediate vs. delayed gratification? What’s a fella to do???

Why is Arlo saying anything that would move Janis away from light and thin summer PJ’s?

Wow…

I set it to whatever temp gets her out of that nighty.

She is a goddess in PJ’s.

PJ are Pajamas. Janis is wearing a nightgown or nightie.

I live in FL but I can’t sleep with the A/C turning on and off all night. It is too noisy to sleep. I turn the A/C low before bed time and I am fine until morning.

Dirty minded old man. :)

We have separate ac units in each bedroom and one on the main floor. None sets at a temperature there are numbers on the coldness dials from 1 to maybe 7 or 8 and hi med low on the fan speed dials. I used to need it cold all the time as I was always hot and husband was always freezing. About 10 years ago that reversed – I am now freezing all the time and he is hot all the time. Our bedroom ac died and we had to buy have installed a new one mid pandemic (scares the heck out of me to have people in our house, let alone our bedroom both for C-19 and because we have had bed bugs that cost a fortune to get rid of). I normally sleep in old jeans, loose socks and tee shirts – since new ac put in the bedroom – in long sleeved tee shirts.

But we go from our air conditioned house to our air conditioned car to the air conditioned food store – in normal times – the air conditioned movies, Wendys, restaurants, etc. A few years ago our reenactment unit bought a portable ac unit that has a piece put in the window when we need to use it as our Independence Day event in mid July (when D of I arrived in the township to be read to the public) it is terribly hot – once almost had to take a member to the hospital before we got it – so it is there for us to cool off in modern section of house when it is hot so no one gets sick.
