I don’t begrudge anyone their a/c, but I’ve never lived in a house with it. I’ve lived in California all my life other than four years in Washington, D.C., so I’ve seen a fair amount of hot weather. But I just don’t like it, would rather put up with however many hot nights a year. But no I don’t imagine I’d be interested in Texas or Mississippi without it.
“I don’t imagine I’d be interested in Texas or Mississippi without it.”
Trust me, you wouldn’t. Unlike California, where the evening temps dip down enough to open the windows, here in Texas it stays hot all through the night.
Older Texans tell me that when they were kids, their folks would move their beds onto the front porch, and they’d sleep under wet sheets.
That’s hot.
