I am not discounting the fact that having a pet animal can be comforting--I have 6 cats in my house and enjoy interacting with them a lot. But I don't take them with me when I travel--I have a trusted person come to my home each day I'm gone to take care of my kitties.

I certainly do not approve of having any "comfort animal" that is larger than a cat or small dog, especially if one insists on traveling with it (which I think should not be allowed).

The above diatribe does not extend to true "service animals" that are there to perform physical tasks for their owners. I think those animals are remarkable and are worthy of some accommodation.

This is my comfort animal, it carries 15 rds not two.

Or the car's ac doesn't work.


Do you need AC at 2:30am in Houston?
You need a/c in Houston 24/7/365. When I was job-hunting in Texas 39 years ago I was told I could earn $10,000/yr more in Houston than in Dallas--I said it was worth that much to avoid the Houston climate. (I still think so.)

You absolutely need AC 24 hours per day from mid-April until mid/late October. For example, tonight it'll be 85% to 90% humidity between 2 and 3 AM putting the heat index at 82.

Same here. I drove my car without air conditioning for four years in a similar climate. It was brutal. I remember when A/C first came out as an aftermarket accessory. My grandfather had it installed in his Dodge Dart. It cooled but dripped water a lot and took up a LOT of interior space. I could not live here without air conditioning, but many poor people do.
