THE DAYS....AND NIGHTS....OF SWEATY YOUTH.......

I lived, as a child, in an old house that had no A/C.....we had cars with no A/C....I went to a school that had no A/C.......took dance classes with no A/C.......only department stores....just a few of them...and movie theaters provided that comfortable 'luxury' ....until the mid-50s', as "units" became compact enough....and cheap enough.....for 'everyone'.......Today, I'm reliving those years....as both my home and car A/Cs are non-functioning.........I've been putting ice cubes in the aquarium to keep the fish alive until the Central Unit is restored to service....tomorrow..........and I'm unwilling to shell out $1300-2000 to 'service' the car's 'unit'.......It's going to be a long, hot summer, I think........
