Yer all softies. I was born and bred in de briar patch, and I grew up
without air conditioners at school, home, or the car. Give me Joshua Tree
and some water (for the water colors, mind you, not to drink - that's for
sissies). Death Valley on a sunny summer day. Bodie and ladle on some
extra dust. Can't stand the heat? Go back to New England!
And if enough of you furriners leave, we can turn back on the air
conditioners....
