Heat! Hot! Humid! Hazy!

I guess I don't have to remind anyone that the 4 H's have returned.  Why is it that as children it didn't bother us?  Now that we are adults we cry and whine because it's too hot.  When I was young, only people with money had air conditioning.  Those of us that were poor had fans.  There was a fan in almost every room.  We slept with the fan blowing on us.  To cool off we took cool baths, didn't have showers yet either.  Even our cars didn't have air conditioning, we rolled the windows down.  Yes, the good old days.  Now if the power goes off we at least know how to cool off.  Wait, no power - no water - no cool bath - no fan either.  Oh no, what do we do now?  How about the pool?.......
