Tocqueville's impression of American attitudes toward the relation of government and religion was formed on his tour of the United States in the early 1830s during the high tide of evangelicalism:
There are a few things you can do about it in a relatively short time. 1  An awning or outdoor window shade will stop most of the sun's heat before it comes to your window. 2  Install shades or shutters on the offending windows for more comfort when needed.
On a cold, windy day, run your hand all around the window and try to find air movement. The feeling of a light breeze on your hand can mean big energy losses. That same breeze can chill the inner window surfaces and promote spots of greater condensation and frost. Seal breezy areas with caulk.
