Carl,
How long have you lived in VA?
"In the day", fans were common everywhere in order to give some relief and minimal evaporative drying by pushing air across sweaty parts (unless the humidity was 100%).
I miss those days.
Therein lies the problem,Tim. Our summer air is a fluid, seemingly of a higher viscosity than water. I had a modern fan in a work truck once, but when it was on, it felt like the furnace was on.
