On April 28th, 1914...
-Willis Haviland (W.H.) Carrier...
The "Father of Air Conditioning"...Who developed both the theory and the applications thereof; His: "Rational Psychrometric Formulae" [The "Magna Carta of Psychrometrics"]
...patented the latest of his air-conditioning-system inventions.
-Later that same year...Carrier installs air conditioning in the first home, a mansion in Minneapolis. Cost: $10,000.
-Nowadays, it would almost seem bereft, for the majority of us, to think of our modes of transportation without the benefits associated with them being air-conditioned...Especially in warmer climes!!

Been recuperating all day from the long weekend.
Have been on and off the forum mostly all day.
I was able to do a lot of the house/yard maintenance for Mom, attend the wake and funeral, and was still able to do a full detail on a classic pick up referral from the guy who sold me the 68GMC. If the SC referrals keep up then I may just be able to spend a little more time with Mom.
See you guys on the forum

It has been quite a conundrum to whom Carly Simon referenced as seemingly being a:
"Bane to her existence"...
As She wailed the words to: 'You're So Vain".

"New Word of the Day" for 05.02.2012:
Epexegesis (e pèksə jessiss)
Definition: Additional explanation or explanatory material; further clarification; to point out.
-Often in one of my replies/postings to an OP's thread-starter-inquiry, I will, undoubtedly, omit some, (what I feel is), pertinent, germanic information.
Or, just add a few etc's, as it were, as a catch-all.
-(This is not to be perceived as an intentional act upon my part...Rather, to be sure: 'I'm only Human'.)
-Therefore...I hereby state, unequivocably, that I appreciate someone that will take an opportunity to "fill-in-the-blanks"; and, I only consider this as an epexegetical-act...Never to be taken as an affront, offensive, or patronizing.
I say, then: Thanks!!...And a: "Tip-of-the Hat" to those Exegete amongst we fellow AGO'ers.

Seems that the lasted trend in detailing websites is the epexegetical use of video, as opposed to still photographs, to inform potential clients of the processes and proceedures used in performing aspects of each package offered.
