In Alabama we get the heat and humidity in the summer. This is the second straight week with heat indexes of over 100 degrees and it will be mostly like this thru August and into September.

Little did I know that air conditioning is very rare in most parts of Europe. On our recent visit, I'm searching our hotel room for the air conditioning thermostat. 10 of the 15 hotels we visited didn't have air conditioning. Most restaurants don't either. Most homes neither!

Today carrier would be described as a racist for creating cooling systems for whites only.

Not much different here in West Ga. Hot and right after it rains its like a sauna out side. Just plain miserable.

We lucked out today in Savannah. The temp peaked out at 97 deg F, but the humidity was low. There was a nice, steady breeze too.

Carrie didn't 'invent' it until 51 years after John Gorrie patented and built his cold air machine in 1851. He built it to cool down overheated patients suffering from yellow fever.

Yeah remember that heat wave in Europe about 5-6 years ago? Lots of people died. When I road tripped through France and Germany in 2007 I recall stopping at a fast food place off the highway in the middle of nowhere as we still had a long haul to our destination. The soft drink at this German stop was served to me at the order counter with no ice so I asked for some. They couldn’t understand me so finally I managed to somehow convey what I meant. The older lady took my cup of sprite to the very back of the cooking area and walked through a double door. When she returned, there in my cup was floating a lone single ice cube. I didn’t say anything more and ate my meal. Later in talking with a hotel clerk he explained to me that refrigeration was a luxury and very expensive so that was the norm - at least in that area of Bavaria.

A German company bought the company I worked for. When they visited they would turn thermostats in the offices to 80 degrees in summer. Office people witched and moaned for the week they stayed.HaHa we gave them no sympathy.

One cube?
**** that...We are AMERICANS. We have so much ice, we often OVERfill our cups and dump some out.

Electricity costs twice as much there.

I bought my air conditioning four years ago, although I pay more in electricity that the cost of the air itself, I don't regret it for a minute, allow my wife and I to sleep cosy and cold, in the hot Mexican nights, 40 °c ( 104 to you ) here at some parts of the year.

Same here and I always though that's a scam from the fast food service and the bar tenders so they pour less soda in the large cups ... it's already cold from the machine.
