Austin AC is a must. There is no getting around the blazing heat of the summertime without air conditioning. I spent my childhood years in a much cooler part of the country so these summers are really hard for me to take. Without AC, I really don’t think I could survive it. I live in this hot and humid state only because my husband’s job is here, not for any other reason. I do appreciate some things about this great state. One of the most important things I like is the cold of the winter and the second most important thing is the cold of the air conditioning.
