His parents live there with no AC.
Good grief! NOBODY lives there without AC. We did when I was a child, but the climate has changed since then. There has been so much irrigation in the Central Valley that there is a higher humidity rate there now. I remember the day when we got our first "desert air" cooler after WW II when we could get such things. It was an affair with coir pads and water piped over them while a fan blew. It hung in the window. Nobody had real AC. Perhaps the very wealthy and departments stores. I can tell you than no school had AC. We had huge windows that we flung open in hot weather. By the time I was in college, my parents got a real AC because a desert air cooler no longer did the job (to say nothing about it being messy with water always leaking in). During WWII, before we got the desert air cooler, my dad used to bring home a big block of ice, and he would position it in an enamel pan on the floor with an electric fan blowing over it. I spent many an hour lying on the foor with my toys soaking up all the cool air! LOL. My grandmother would also skim all of the cream off the top of the milk (before homogeonized milk was available). When she had saved enough, she would put it in a clean mayonnaise jar and give it to me to roll around on the floor to make butter. Our children will never experience those joys! LOL.
