Being born and raised in Tampa, I have survived MANY, MANY south Florida summers, and I still say that air conditioning is overrated. Give me an open window, and a fan and I'll be happy. Plastic on your windows? We do that up here in the WINTER, not the summer! :)

Another non-Floridian heard from. The great thing about the arrival of football is that it means summer is almost over, maybe in about 6 weeks, hopefully dear Lord. How do I take this plastic wrap off my windows? A.
