I agree, I grew up in Texas without a/c and I never want to be without it again! ....There was an article that shocked me within the last year. I had never thought of it before. It was entitled something like “Sam Colt did not tame the West,it was the Carriers” or something like that. It showed the size of cities pre A/c and twenty years later. Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Santa Fe, Houston, etc. From pueblos to vibrant cities in twenty years. Plain amazing all from American ingenuity.
In the summer, I believe in God and Air Conditioning, and not necessarily in that order.
