Where my friends and I live, there is so much excess humidity you are constantly sizzling when outside, but the only reprieve my friends and I have is that we know there is excellent air conditioning waiting inside the house, but most of us are used to the heat and humidity, but it is constantly good to get inside. My folks spend most of their time outside, even when it is seriously hot. They said that they can get sick from too much air conditioning, but i suppose that they have spent so much time in this area, it feels natural to be separate from quality air conditioning. I grew up with it and I don’t want to live without air conditioning! Last week, I heard my mom and Mom talk about how good it is for them now. Mom asked me if I remembered that one Summer night when they almost drowned in their own sweat; Mom giggled and said that was before they had air conditioning. Mom agreed, but his memories were not for my delicate ears, so I walked away. I knew mom and Mom had cherished each other since their teens, even though I never thought of them as being young. I constantly saw my two moms for who they were right now. Them laughing about rowing around the lake when it was 100 degrees just to not have my Grandpa listening to them had me laughing. Maybe I was spoiled by air conditioning, but it’s so much better than drowning in sweat. I could not imagine it being that hot, not having quality air conditioning, and still laughing about it. Two weeks later, I had the opportunity to find out what that felt like… Our air conditioning quit running in the middle of the night.
