Yes you feel really pathetic if your Modem is out of order or internet line line is dead. A lot of incident happened to you while fixing your modem. The end result is good that atleast you will fix the modem. so your part of the world 80 F is consider to be high temperature. In our region during summer days temperatures reach upto 120 F. Different region different problems.
My theory is the more your try to conserve anything the worse it gets
I agree with your theory. In my 2 cents opinion the more you concious about any thing it becomes worse. Any way every people have different thinking approach. Pics are amazing as well as your post. keep sharing @lightsplasher
Thank you. I do like the fact that it does not get that hot around here. Sometimes we visit hotter areas and it is very difficult to go from a more moderate climate to a very hot one. I've lived other places with more extreme hot and cold weather too, but like this climate here better even though it is very rainy and cloudy a lot. When you live in hotter places I think you get more used to it and your body can handle the heat better.
