No one ever died of heat before??
“No one ever died of heat before??”
Amazing but true. I turned 77 on Tuesday and having been born and raised in South Carolina I can vouch that we never had any problems with heat exhaustion back in the forties and fifties, in fact it was almost never warm enough to enjoy a swim, even in July or August. We used to look forward to the first snow in late October and by Christmas all the rivers and lakes were frozen solid and it was Carnival on ice time. I remember the wonderful times we had picking cotton with our sweaters and wool caps on. That was such a wonderful time compared to the current era with people having heat strokes on New Years day.
