Today is your day Boomer! Another hot day in the Okanagan Valley for me......as this beautiful summer continues. Most Boomers in and around BC can afford air conditioning; in fact, the world sports about 3.6 billion air conditioning units; that is about one for every two people. However, we all know that only the middle and upper class have the money to afford them. This becomes crystal clear when BC Hydro estimates that "air" will add about 200$ to your summer electrical bill and of the 619 heat-related deaths in BC's heat dome last summer, about 2/3rds involved people without access to cool air units. In the sunny Okanagan, we do one of two things: go to the big blue lake to cool off or stay inside where nearly everyone has air. Even coastal residents have air conditioners now! If you don't, check this picture, follow the advice from the BC government and TRY to stay hydrated and cool. Cheers Boomers!
