Florida is uninhabitable without air conditioning, at least during the summer and part of the fall. So today, with a temp outside of 91, our AC was blowing out warm air. I called the company we usually deal with for AC issues, but they couldn’t send anyone out until tomorrow.
In the meantime, the dogs were panting and the temp inside the house was 83. Our offices were rendered too hot to sit in. So I called another company. They sent a technician within 15 or 20 minutes. He identified the problems – a clogged hose, a burned lizard on a piece of the equipment, and a dead frog that may have gotten into the converter.
I walked out to the mailbox and one of the two pieces of mail was the image above. Synchro about air-conditioning and, fortunately, wrong about the message!
That’s funny, on the subject of Lindstrom, I was searching the net for Christopher Reeve quotes the other day for a post I was thinking of writing, and the quote was from a Psychology Today post by a shrink named Victoria Lindstrom 🙂
“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” –Christopher Reeve

Good quote from Reeves! And very weird about Lindstrom. Off to take a look at your link.
I also found this article about pets dealing with summer heat by Julie Lindstrom, an animal control supervisor, when I was trying to find that Lindstrom shrink link again today to show you the article –

Another Lindstrom! The first one actually sounded like a good counselor.
Wow, how awful to not have air conditioning here. Great synchro.
A few years ago my dad had the same thing happen to his air conditioner, a lizard blew a fuse or whatever. However when we called the company dad usually used (you know with that contract, I think it was ECM) the repairman told him he needed a brand new air conditioner. Fortunately we got a second opinion. Only cost a few bucks and the air conditioner was repaired.
Many companies are quick to say you need a new AC. This guy was measured and thorough.
OMG – the things you have to deal with – a burned lizard on a piece of the equipment, and a dead frog! You have to be a tough cookie to live in Florida.
My motto: expect the unexpected.
