Heatwaves suck!<br /> But complaining about how miserable you're life is isn't exactly true unless you're a poor family who cannot afford AC and live in the shittiest conditions possible. <br /><br /><br /><br />Even then in the 1930s many families in the big city ALL SHARED the same apartment and had to use the same bathroom down the main hallway..................outside you're living quarters and there is no guarantee the water pressure would be right for flushing or bathing due to poor plumbing and too many people sharing the same little sewer pipe.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The good news is after the sun went down and the air started cooling off people would often get together and play board games and children would play in the streets like hop scotch or freeze tag.<br /><br /><br />The local ice man who delivered ice every morning would be getting TONS of cash being overwhelmed with orders.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205922308043285352.post-59200928248609844642013-04-27T18:42:57.550-07:002013-04-27T18:42:57.550-07:00Funny thing is during those hot years of 1930-31 n...Funny thing is during those hot years of 1930-31 nobody had AC to cool off in or personal coolers to drink cold beer. <br /><br />They couldn't think of an excuse to get in their AC car to go drive somewhere and the local movie house was out of the question due of the lack of ventilation systems.<br /><br /><br /><br />I feel like with today's technology we are spoiled brats on how we can cope with the heat yet STILL have the nerves to complain loudly. <br /><br />IAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
