93.6 inside my house
laptop is hot to the touch - like TOO hot. I just went in the shower with my clothes on and sitting right in front of the fan is quite comfortable. should I put a wet towel on my computer so I can keep playing on DU?
= new reply since forum marked as read
just fixed at least three typos in that post 
hopefully it will cool off now. I was just kidding about the computer - it is on a fan/chill pad and lifted off the desk by a chunk of wood, but still pretty damn warm. that is why I haven't been posting much in the afternoon for a while now.
as for clothes vs. naked - just a tee and shorts, but they hold water longer than bare skin and with the fan blowing I am quite comfortable. Used to have a cheap sears pool, and spent summers in a wet bathing suit. I sure miss my pool. 
you should come for a visit it is a cool, rainy 72 here at my place. 
a couple more weeks, I hope!
local legend makes a big deal about San Juan's day - traditional start of the monsoons. Old timers said if it rained (in June) before San Juan's day the summer rains would be poor. I don't know about that but man it would be nice to have a GOOD year for a change.
some friends that live on a different watershed have an annual summer rain dance (old style all night long country dance in the living room) around that weekend. MAY try to get to that. Have a couple free days after keeping the rental car for over a month last Feb.
Problem is getting to Tucson to pick it up. Cause, you know - some clown is going to want me to take him out for frozen girl drinks if I get within 30 miles.
otherwise, I don't go far from home in June. Now talk to me about spring or fall (or winter even). 
That Rain Dance sounds like FUN 
and You are welcome any time

tears. literally. streaming down my cheeks. gender benders, for sure. the both of ya

I am living almost like my pioneer ancestors did - in the same house even. Not really - I have gas, electric and running water. but no AC.
I am at 4500 feet elevation and it cools off beautifully at night. We live like natives and work in the early morning/evening - do the siesta thing to get through the worst part of the day. Also yes, wet towels, clothes, bedding!
A fan and a wet towel are quite comfortable most of the time. And iced tea! I live on it.
the myth of warm sunny California - the freaking Pacific is COLD!!!!
We live in an ancestral house, too, but did install a window AC unit. It was slightly cooler around that window.
BUT, then, in the early evening the delta breeze started up and a cool wind blew in from the coast- soon it was 77º and felt chilly! We opened the front and back door and windows and let the cool air blow through. This morning at 6:30 it was 61º! Today breezy, with clouds, and ~80º. Woo-hoo!
here we just suffer for a few hours in the afternoon (and we are fortunate to be able to do traditional adaptive behaviors like sleeping in the afternoon and working early hours)
way too familiar with the dangers of this environment the last decade with the migrant deaths all along the border (I am about 60 miles from the line and not in the most dangerous area by far)
welcome to DU
Only 86 here in the apartment though. I didn't even open the shades this morning. 
I haven't turned the fan on yet this year (no AC) but it's sitting on the floor staring at me.
I'm surprised at your elevation. I thought you would be much lower down there - I'm at 6,700'.
We have 2,000 bicyclists in town tonight, on their way from Telluride to Durango tomorrow, with a high of 97 forecast. http://ridetherockies.com/
Good times...
