My step-mom, a person raised in the cold climes of Sweden, was thinking
about getting a fan that used ice to cool the room temperature. I had no
idea that such contraptions existed. These days, it's easy to find a
window A/C for $250 or less. I guess she must be desperate.

We had lunch at her house. I bought some roasted chicken, beets,
coleslaw, and olive salad. She made some potato salad. A good time was
had by all.
