The Racket staff is BITTERLY DIVIDED over the question of whether air-conditioning is yet necessary. We're not saying who's on either side of the question, but consider this your prompt if you need one. Also, anyone been to the sinkhole lately?

Anyway, comment as you will on what you wish. Happy open thread!
