I have a big old floor fan I bought for 50 cents and use it all summer. Way more powerful than those new plastic models. Even came with a electric tape repair to the cord.

I was able to move back to Michigan a few years ago and brought back my love from Ohio with me. She was a Findlay girl, where I lived for about 8 years.
