* 150 years ago--before air conditioning & microwaves and when women wore insane amounts of clothing, did every summer meal result in a heat stroke for the poor woman cooking it?
* How did anyone ever get cilantro & tomatoes combined to make salsa, since cilantro loves cool weather & tomatoes don't even get going until the cilantro has been fried by the heat?
* If someone repeatedly forwards me the most outlandish urban legend emails, how many do I have to receive before--even by the strictest etiquette standards--I can call them a superstitious and gullible ninny?
* Did the person who invented air conditioning earn a lot of money and/or awards? If not, WHY???????
* How many years must I garden before I can just accept that I should be happy that my carnations are blooming at all without being disturbed by the fact that they are mostly horizontal? Is that why zen gardens just have rocks?

- 150 years ago the noon meal was the big meal of the day, then everyone napped. I think.
- I tried growing some "late" cilantro, but the seeds would not even sprout.
- Is this a koan?
- I would give up my car before my AC.
- I abandoned carnations two decades ago, but I would like to know how to get coreopsis to last more than two or three years.
I have always looked at people who had to have AC a bit smuggly, because I could live with it or without it. Of course, that was before I had hot flashes. Now, there is some humility slapping you hard in your flushed, hot face.
