Worst Photo of a Library

That pic up top is the worst photo of a library this thread has had yet. That's one of the modern no-books ones, I presume. What a mess.

-O-

Beating the heat without A/C isn't hard if you can stay wet and in front of a fan.

Folks who lived 'round here in the Olde Dayes tell me, "We didn't have some guy on the radio telling us every five minutes how hot it was. We just sat with a lemonade under a shade tree."

Oklahoma, Summer of 1980, never went below 85 and most days above 100 for six weeks. No A/C in the house. We slept on the roof, got up with the sun, went to (air-conditioned) work early, came home at sunset. Survival mode.

Then we moved to Chicago for that Winter… in time for their coldest night ever on record. Heh.
