Those swamp coolers are pretty cool. They work great where my sister-in-law live in Oroville, CA. The time I went there, the place was dry as a bone and like a tinderbox ready to explode. I like fire the same as the next guy but that was ridiculous.

Those coolers won't work in my little town with 80% humidity. I got my AC window unit on at the moment and boy, the racket is kinda nuts.
