COME TO FLORIDA AND STAY A COUPLE OF WEEKS IN JULY, YOU STUPID LIBERAL!.
THEN LET’S HEAR YOU SAY THAT!.................
While in the Army in the 50s, 60s, and 70s I lived in un-air conditioned barracks at Fort Benning, GA and Fort Bragg, NC during the Summer heat and not only lived through it, I couldn't have done my job if those barracks had been air conditioned. For, you see, a soldier can never become acclimatized if he continues to go from air conditioned to non-air conditioned throughout the work day and night. Once you become acclimatized, you don't even notice the heat.
When a soldier doesn't get acclimatized, he doesn't function well when working outside until he does. In addition to that, continually going from hot to cold will frequently weaken a soldier's immune system and he'll develop an upper respiratory infection.
This non-use of air conditioning worked well for the Army in my day during deployments to Southeast Asia, South America, Central America, and Africa, but when I see air conditioned tents are being used by our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, I know times have changed.
What’s the argument here? The freon has been changed as to not give off CFC’s.
My American Legion checks on some of our older members who don’t get around anymore and many widows as well during the hottest days.
Just a phone call to make sure everything is OK, and their AC is going, they are keeping cool.
If not, we have a few guys who get over there pronto and get the AC units going, sometimes they go just to clean the filters for them as well.
AC is vital for the elderly in this area. We are in Chicagoland, but it can get hot and humid as hell.
I guess. It had a pump that pumped water from a reservoir in the base and trickled water down over mats in the sides and air was sucked in by the fan that blew down into the house. Kept the house 70 degrees even when the outside temperature was in the 100s.

She also doesn't need to tell other people how to live their lives.
“And, being a kneejerk Lefty, I insist on the right to decide the matter for you.”
Bet she has an odor about her.
Hey Keller....
My borzoi says you can ESAD!
“Bark Bark!”
That’s dog for two degrees lower on the thermostat.
I’m wearing a coat tonight like I wore working in the server room.
Lunatics.
The old Quads at Ft Benning?
I live in WA State, and we have A/C. I just don't do well in heat, and as I've gotten older the definition of "heat" has gotten lower. I simply wilt in hot weather. I love my A/C,
Also, there are two Washingtons with the one state. The Western half of WA State is where Seattle is located, and the Pacific Ocean is on the coast. It has a nice moderate climate most of the time, both summer and winter. However, the Eastern part of the state on the other side of the Cascade Mountains, has a very different type of climate, much warmer in summer and colder in the winter. Now, it is not Minnesota by any means, but it is different from the Western side of the state.
In nice, moderate Western Washington, it’s the second day of three days in the mid to upper 90s. I wish I had AC.
I lived in Fla with no AC, nobody had it back then (1960).
I wouldn’t do it today though. I keep my house like a meat locker now...lol.
I was born 1935 Miami.
Lived without AC until 1960. Homes had extra large windows and most had attic fans.
My dad was Refrigeration and Electrical Engineer.
Once ACs were available why in holy hell would a sane person not use them?
Note the word SANE!
Yes, and Smoke Bomb Hill at Fort Bragg.
Yeah, and I could probably live without shoes. Could also survive with a dirt floor and a grass thatched roof. Who gives a crap?
But, normally, we have a mild climate. I speak as one who grew up in the Chicago area and the heat combined with the humidity was terrible in the summer. Also, the cold and snow in the winter.
When I lived in Shoreline for 14 years, I remember one summer with three weeks of 90+ temperatures.
Not that I care to investigate, but this woman sounds like one of those who doesn’t shave her pits or legs and doesn’t use deodorant.
