Natman, your point are well taken, particularly regarding the fears of parents being viewed by pedophiles. It matters not to a pedophile whether a child is clothed or nude, he/she will have sexual fantasies about the child regardless. Children need to be safeguarded from such people and allowed to maintain their innocence until they reach an appropiate age to begin to understand their emotions.

To your excellent points I will only add that environmental heating of cable can lower the amps you can run through a circuit. Jon Marc lives in a mobile home if I recall and the sun can really get those wires hot.
Also, running any appliance constantly lowers the ampacity allowed on that circuit.
I think someone with a volt meter definitely needs to find out why that circuit is not handling what should be a very reasonable load. There's too much risk of fire to ignore this.
I had a similar problem in my house and I had the A/C window unit put on its own "dedicated" circuit.
No more breakers flipped off!

Even a child realizes that it is more comfortable to be nude in warm weather.
As Nathan said, before you develop shame about your body, it is undiluted fun for your body to be in complete contact with its environment. And great to be relieved of the binding and pinching fabrics, free from the heat-trapping wraps on a hot summer day in Georgia. (being mindful of hot metal sliding boards, pine cones and asphalt.
We adults could feel just as carefree if we had the heart of a child and we were in a safe setting.

Well if you have a 120 volt AC unit, since 30 amps is 3600 watts, it should be more than enough for 120 volt air conditioners. If that is a 30 amp 240 volt breaker you would have twice that. So for a 210 volt system, unless:
A-- The wires are too long and small and therefore too much resistance in bringing power to your AC unit.
B-- You have a lot of other power users on at the same time. (e.g. kitchen range)
C-- You are turning the AC off and then turning it back on in just a few minutes
D-- You have a bad connection somewhere (think fire hazard)
E-- The power system is not providing full voltage

Like it, or don‘t. Call it what you want: nudie, birthday suit, bare, un-clothed, in the buff… however you say it, it’s factual- we were all born naked! So naturally, it makes sense why our little ones prefer to run around sans clothing. If you’re a parent of naked-loving children, and kind of want to know why in the world they dislike clothes so much, Mental Health professor for the University of Massachusetts, Sharon Lamb, answered this question in a New York Times article. She says “For some kids, getting dressed gets associated with something they don’t want to do, like eating their veggies.” She goes on to explain that kids will find that running around naked is just more comfortable...

Jim,
If you are up to a whole day outing, there are many places for great nude hiking up Hiway 93 near Caliente. Oak Springs Summit has many dirt roads leading off into the PJ (pinion-juniper). Not many go there this time of year. We have done many nude hikes in that area. There is a secluded spot that is only accessible by 4X4, where we camped naked, all weekend.
We camped right at the bottom of a cliff and early
one morning we heard the roar of jets flying. We searched the sky but could
not see them. Then all of a sudden 3 F-15's from Nellis, came flying over
the cliff. They were so low...Statistics : Posted by NakedMan57 • on Thu May 17, 2012 11:00 am

BTW - Yes I have studied the law pretty thoroughly and of course the term "Mosaic Law" was not introduced introduced into the thread by me. I have spent the past 30 years teaching the bible and even a couple years preaching it.
