How Hot IS IT?

Yeah, yeah. We don't live in the deep South so we really shouldn't be complaining about the heat. BUT. Today when I got out of the car after lunch, my glasses fogged up it was so hot and humid outside!

And then tonight when we had been home for an hour or so, we noticed that it kept getting warmer and warmer in the house. A quick glance at the thermostat said it was 83*F in the living room. We then noticed that the blower was no longer blowing. The AC unit outside was chugging away, but the big fan thing (like my technical terms?) in the basement wasn't doing its part. We think (hope) it has frozen up from the humidity and constant running over the last 2 weeks of 90*F plus temps (it hums when we flip it on, it just isn't blowing). So, we've turned it off and put a fan in the bedroom window for a long, uncomfortable, night of - I suspect - very little sleep.

Tomorrow, if it still won't kick back on then we call the repair guy and get out the box units from the garage so we (i.e. the sled dog and his black furry brother) can stand it until the repair guy can make it over. We may have to shave the dogs.
