Hot Night

These few days the weather in my hometown is so hot especially during the afternoons and evenings.  By night fall, the air is warm around the house, mosquitoes were aplenty and I had to put on the repellent.  Last night was not different, while we were preparing for bed, I went to click on the remote for the air conditioner.  I pressed a few times on the ON mode, facing the air conditioner, nope, it did not function.  Oh dear.. how to sleep without the cool air?  How I wish then I have some rc batteries in the house.  Sigh....
