Just a word of advice

[LeftyMom]

When you live someplace where the temperature passed 100 before you ate breakfast and an air conditioner can't be bought for love or money, install your AC in your window firmly. My kid sisters' fell out and broke into it's constituent molecules and there's no earthly way it's being replaced this week.

1. Tough break. Sad stuff.

I remember sitting in my third floor kitchen with the temperature over 100. ... had a tendency to suck the life out of me.

3. Air conditioners are popping up is the strangest places.

One of the Sunday suppliment auto parts ads (either Pep Boys or Kragens, those are the only two) had air conditioners. There has been a flood of 5K BTU units from distant shores this year. Don't give up the search, just expand it.
