I accompanied a fellow out to a rally in Terlingua. He was a HVAC engineer on the Cherokee nukeplant in SC and had come out to work at Comanche Peak. His intro to the desert was, shall we say, stunning. "This is like the surface of the f*g moon!"

He started asking me why people set boxes on top of their houses. Although I described evaporative A/C, he simply refused to believe that it could work. I've lived in the desert; I know you can freeze yourself out of the house with an EAC unit. I wonder that they do teach at HVAC school?
