When temperatures reached the 90s, Richard Domondon and his family in Rancho Peñasquitos were in desperate need of relief from the heat. "It’s been really horrible especially because I have little kids," Domondon said. He got an unpleasant surprise when he turned on the air conditioner and discovered it was blowing warm air. Trying to fix it was another issue. "I called probably three different contractors, and they were booked two weeks to a month out," Domondon said.

BANGKOK (AP) — Shortly after China opened its borders with the end of zero-COVID, Zhang Chuannan lost her job as an accountant at a cosmetic firm in Shanghai and decided to explore the world.“The cosmetics business was bleak,” said Zhang, 34, who explained everyone wore face masks during the pandemic.
