In his novel The Reivers, one of the characters grouses, “There are no seasons at all any more, with interiors artificially contrived at sixty degrees in summer and ninety degrees in winter, so that mossbacked recidivists like me must go outside in summer to escape cold and in winter to escape heat.” Faulkner was not the only one who saw air-conditioning as a technology from hell.

Love this. I hate how we over cool in the summer and overheat in the winter.
