I can remember as a very young child in New Orleans, we didn't have
AC. We just opened the windows and ran lots of fans. Our house was
built on piles driven into the ground instead of a foundation, and I
loved to crawl under the house and see all the bugs and other critters
that lived there. I found pill bugs fascinating. 

It must have been hotter than the hinges of hell -- I remember we'd
get intense downpours for 10 minutes or so, and then the sun would
come out and we'd see steam rising from the streets.

This was in the early 1960s. Air conditioning existed, but I remember
only ever encountering it in a few stores my mother took me to.

My former wife and I bought the house back in 1988. Decades later, I'm
still there. When my brother and I bought a handful of radio stations
in northern New England, it was my plan to move up there, but 
circumstances haven't allowed that so far. 

There are aspects of living where I do that are very convenient; I
am two blocks from the local commuter rail station, for one. But
it would be nice to be out in the countryside,
