WE DIDN'T HAVE AIR CONDITIONING....just huge wonderful dutch elms which shaded the houses and windows with cross breezes.
Until they fell on the house in a storm.....
I spent my childhood in the back of a car with an AM radio and no a/c.
I’d be willing to bet that the car was well over 100 degrees many summer days as we drove all over on vacation.
I had no idea that I was an “at-risk” child with a rough upbringing until just now.
