Umpqua: The sleepy tongue out never gets old or less cute. #pokidog
Umpqua: Our bedroom is the only room that has AC. At night we have the small foreground fan pointed up to cool the kitchen, as that gets morning sun, and it worked great yesterday, but the front of our house got to ~95deg. Today we did an airflow “daisy-chain” us
