So we had the air conditioning repair guys come to check out a rattling noise in the system that keeps us awake at night. We assumed that a fan belt in the a/c unit was rubbing against something metal, but the reason was much easier to see: upon removing all the upstairs vents, the workers found that whoever installed the system had left behind an empty Tecate beer can -- inside an air duct... Maybe the fact that they were drinking on the job explains why the house is 10 degrees hotter upstairs than down...

Now that the a/c is fixed, the temperatures have dropped again. It was in the 40s last night, and is still cold in the shade now though it is almost noon.
