Not far off!
Born in 52.

Parents were too poor for even the tiniest of luxuries

Use to lay in a puddle of sweat at night.
Windows open and poor fitting screens!

Sometimes I would wonder which was going to kill me .. The heat, Drowning in my own sweat or maybe the d@mn mosquitoes would suck me dry first!

I do too. But after living in Miami for 2 years with no AC, I'd never do it again. (See Mr Close's post! Been there, done that.) Much as I hate heat & humidity, I'm not fond of AC either. I solved the problem by living in a place where I require AC maybe 10 or 15 nites out of the year.

Which 10-15 nights do you have it on? It seems that June through October are unbearable without AC.

i'd say about 10 onths out of the year.... it depends on the weather. Sometimes n Jan and Feb we can get a warm spell, where air conditioning is required, other times it will be cool enough to not need it.

Well, just those nights when I can't sleep because of the heat and humidity. Round these parts they are pretty much just in July and August.

Where is this place? I'm looking for a move & I hate A/C as well. One reason I really loved ABQ, NM. Never had to use A/C!

My wife though is looking for more "green." What city/state do you call home now?
