Air repair

Last month the air conditioner at our house that cools the bedrooms died. Our house has three air conditioning units and two evaporative coolers (commonly called swamp coolers) up on the roof, a lot of stuff up there where most new houses only have a single air unit. It was making noise, and blowing air, but it was hot outside air not cool refreshing breezes. Since it was 42c (108f) outside with another few months of that predicted we tried just using the front air unit and setting up a fan to blow into the bedroom, but that just wasn't designed to keep up with the summer temperatures. We ended up calling a repair company, the one that replaced the units when we moved in nine years ago. The result:




Doesn't look like $426, does it?


On a different topic, here is the Elvis store at Aria. I don't know if this will be closing when the show closes, or if the show will be renamed. But for now it's here, upstairs in a quiet area.

Elvis again

OK, I am not really a fan, but he really was energetic, and did have a nice voice. Let's not mention the hips (or the imaginative lyrics). Elvis appeared on the Ed Sullivan show several times, but supposedly he was 'too suggestive' with his dancing and after his initial appearence Ed only permitted him to be filmed from the waist up. Milton Berle had a competative show on a different TV network, and did let Elvis come on and do more than Ed permitted.


This video is of the same show. The quality is not as good, but there is a long segment after the song that includes Milton's interaction with Elvis.
