I don't know about you, but when I was growing up we did not have air-conditioning.....no one had air-conditioning....we suffered out the unbearable days and humid nights....and to cool off we would go to the community pool or maybe take in a movie.....
Why now is it so difficult to adjust to no a/c???? I am still on my austerity program and until I am gainfully employed it will stay off (except on those rare occasions when I do have to get ready to go out and don't want to look wilted before I even leave my house)....are we so spoiled that we cannot get back to basics, or is it just the fact that our houses, apartments, whatever are now constructed without the hint of a cross breeze when one opens up the windows? Box fans and ceiling fans just don't seem to cut it....
I have to admit that this has been an exercise in patience on my part....I will 'go with the flow' of nature and pray for cool breezes to periodically come my way.....I now understand the meaning of the phrase "so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk"......
And, yes, this winter I'll probably be writing about how cold it is....but couldn't we at least have some kind of happy medium? C'mon weatherman, cut us a break!
