Trish, you took the words out of my mouth. My great grandmothers both lived to their mid-nineties, in uninsulated, non-air conditioned, barely heated frame houses, and when they wanted to know what the weather was outside, they opened the door and took a look! I don't think either one, as uneducated as they were, needed a weatherman or a heat index to tell them they needed to stay in the shade or to drink cool liquids when it was hot. They had common sense . . . .
