swamp cooler summer

we live on the second story of an old brick house - keep in mind, science says heat rises - and we think it's completely perfect and charming except for the fact that it lacks climate control in every shape and form.  in the winter our electric bill was through the roof {and our house was none the warmer...} and this summer we find relief from the heat in only one corner of our house where our swamp cooler lives.  despite its initial shockingly loud motor and never-ending hum, it does a good job of keeping our {single} room cool.  and this is why our bed has become our permanent summer dining room table.
p.s. post about my iowa vacay coming ASAP.
