[SunRescue] OT: CA: It's Our Turn

[Joshua D. Boyd]

On the more civilized east coast I pay about $1.40 to $1.160 depending on
grade.  The house I moved to last fall has AC, so that will be a nice
change from where I used to live.  I didn't care that much until we
started having computers around the house that kicked off enough heat to
flash fry trout.
