Howard Baker recalled that it was his father who told him that all problems with government started in 1936 when they air-conditioned the Capitol. Prior to that Congress would flee Washington's beastly summers for months every year.
There is much wisdom to that observation.

We held the March for Truth in Lafayette Park when it was 100 degrees. I can understand why people would flee Washington.
