Trade offs. Yesterday I had lunch out on the lanai and called my
friend in MA where it was 13 degrees. Now they are expecting a foot
of snow. Do you want to go fishing or shovel snow?

The trade off is July and August when I'm sitting in AC, not outside.

I've survived the last last 40 years without needing much A\C,
although a couple of my vehicles had it, but it was rarely used.

I'm not even sure if my car windows work. Aside from the occasional
burger pickup there is no reason to put them down. Most cars have
pretty good climate control. I see no reason to have the wind whipping
through and the highway noise.

Most of the summer I'm on one motorcycle or the other so noise and wind
are part of my life. However in the Toyota an open window sets up some
really unpleasant buffeting so I use the A/C at highway speeds. I blme
it on the sophisticated aerodynamic modeling that assumes smooth laminar
flow over a closed window. The F150 has the aerodynamics of a barn door
and doesn't have the problem with an open window. Just as well since it
doesn't have A/C.
