I like the humidity ours swamp cooler provides, because it isn't too much--we can still open and shut the doors (well, they work as they usually do-some of them still stick, but that's another story!) but is as noisy as a jet engine, and it running it at night is like sleeping next to a jet engine.

Last night we had a better arrangement of fans, so I slept ok.

I'm just taking it moment by moment and dreaming of living in a more hospitable climate!
