Amusing reality. Your body adjusts to heat. We are used to air conditioning so we never adjust to heat My friends dog. On a hot day, he does not poke around. Stops off for a quick whatever and pulls back into the ac home. Imagine 1860 Florida, the whole state 140,000.
Some of that number were Indians and some were slaves. In 1950 they had all those Florida land scams. By land in Fla. OOPS you were not supposed to look. It is underwater, it is swamp etc. AC may have been invested in 1902, I was not born, but, many homes did not have electricity and it was expensive compared to incomes. Many people born in Florida 1950-1960 did not have air conditioning. Cars, I remember when ac was an expensive add on. Today, I don't think you can even buy a car without AC.
