Wife turns on A/C all the time vs. me viewing it’s not necessary most of the time (but I keep opinion that to myself). Young son sweats all the time though
I would make the observation that when I get out of the train at Fulton Park and walk up Stuyvesant Ave, it is definitely cooler there than where I entered the train in Manhattan. The lack of heavy traffic, towering buildings and the heavy tree coverage in Brooklyn makes a huge difference.
Sorry folks, I need to pass on tonight’s gathering. I know how many strings lechacal and benson had to pull to arrange for Sarah P’s appearance. Sorry to miss it (although that winking is driving me crazy). Bx, I hope you’ve got some good cornermen(cornerpersons? — it’s a boxing term) if you go and things get nasty.
Funny, but my feeling is just the opposite. It seems to me that summers were hotter when I was a kid. For instance, I remember August being one, long hot month. Now it seems to me that the hot weather breaks around mid-August.
Did you just move into the lower number streets between 4th and 5th Ave? We must be neighbors then!! I live right across from Washington/JJ Byrne Park.
“I remember having no A/C at all growing up and have no recollection of problems sleeping due to the heat (yes, it does get very hot even in Toronto in the summer).”
Biff, I remember growing up in NY in the mid-1960s during a terrible heat wave and drought, and being on the top floor of a six story walk-up, with one window overlooking an airshaft. Definitely had trouble sleeping!
Altho Mrs. D is much smaller than me, we’re about the same tolerance, we like it cool at night, altho we can do without during the day for the most part.
Mrs D is Latina, and used to have a higher heat tolerance than me, we when she gave birth to da kid on American soil, she seemed to have become a true gringa and we became about the same.
BH and I have dinner plans with an old friend from out of town. That part won’t change, my current feeling might — with time. I think I’m off ‘Stoner events awhile.

I grew up in DC w/o a/c & it was tolerable if you had a decent fan. But kids have different sensibilities from adults.
cobble…how about next week????

“Denton, does that mean you’re buying a few beers for Rob ;)”
I’d be happy to buy him a forty 🙂
