That is tragic — and seems so unnecessary in this day and age. My mother (who live in England) recently told me a homeless women she’d befriended had died of cold at Christmas. Mum is understandably very upset and angry too.
I agree Su, there is no excuse for this. When you have the top CEO’s taking home (I won’t say earning) billions and they won’t pay they workers a living wage, this is major contributing factor.
Well, this is a bit tragic, it’s freezing here and I didn’t get at first why on earth you’d post fans: until it occurred to me that not everyone lives in the same climate as I. Duh. I love the concept of your photos here! Even if it’s making me cold.
Maybe this could help with the noise: I’ve read somewhere that lining one side of the blades with felt (I think it was the back but I’m not sure) reduces the noise.

I live in the NW part of Florida (the Panhandle), so we get hot and cold. The hot is too humid and the cold is to darn….cold!

Thanks for that; I just looked it up on a map. The coastline looks incredibly beautiful. Guess you get hurricanes too though?

It is very pretty here, but hurricane season runs June 1-Nov 30. Six out of 12 months. And I chose to move here. What….??!!

I’m the exact opposite — though to be fair, we don’t get extreme cold.

It is the extreme cold that is objectionable, Su. Some of our homeless are freezing to death.
