Do you not have a cell phone? First world solutions.

(Also, the sun and/or major landmarks)
Isn't it just easier to say "Use the Oak Street entrance"?

Better first world solutions.

We don't need a compass or cellphone out here. All we need to do is find the mountains.

Does the air conditioner vent blow directly (or nearly directly) on you? I've had something like this problem too and have had some luck pointing the vent away and running a ceiling fan to circulate the air temperatures in the room.
No, it's my whole first floor that just gets cold with the A/C set at 69. I suppose my other first world problem is that the ceiling fan down there doesn't work for [expletive]. It seems to have two settings, slow and balls out wind tunnel.

In order for my A/C to get the house to 69 degrees, it would have to run 24 hours a day and my bill would be about $10,000.

Something is going on with my hot tub auto temperature thingy, and it's setting the water 2 degrees higher than the reading. I had it set at 102, but the water was being maintained at 104. My wife said it was too hot, so now I have to lower it to 100 so that the water will be maintained at 102.

The other problem: I like it at 104, my wife prefers 102.

I caught grief from my family for deciding to take a run to the gym last evening, amidst the disturbance at the nearby mall.
