Welcome! I'm here in the Seattle region where most of us don't have central air. Right now is the time when I most regret that... I'm a major thrift store shopper although they've been closed the last few months, they just opened again a couple weeks back and people are in long lines trying to donate stuff.
Today I'm about to go out and pick up a broken vintage sewing machine that I bought just for the foot pedal to put on my reliable old machine -- even though I'm sewing with my modern machine now. What we've found recently is that it isn't a bad thing to have a few extra machines, now we call it being prepared!
I do have to add that my Hubby is from Michigan and I'm obligated to say something about go wolverines. Consider it done and out of the way. I grew up in Alaska, a state with no college rivalries.
