Air Conditoned Brats

The recent " heatwave" going on in Toronto right now , if you can call it a heatwave. Humid and smoggy more so than actually hot . I was inspired to write this entry .


Growing up everyone knew which families on the street had air conditoning . The kids that were getting air conditoning or had recently got it in their homes , were as happy as if they had been given a new bike.
It was almost as great as having a pool in your back-yard, but not quite. Pool trumped everything.

I don't remember anyone really complaining or acting as if they were close to death if they didn't have air conditioning though.And I certainly don't remember anyone blasting it in June.
Most of the stores around here have had it on , although not at an artic temperature like in August, since early May.
I doubt those with the large units in windows , had one in every room . I really don't think people would have thought it unheard of to dine in an establishment that didn't have *gasp* central air.

I guess I just don't get it . We all complained and whined about the cold spring and the long time it was taking for the weather to become decent. Well it's hot , guys . Pretty much what we asked for and what do we do ? Ah , well now that it is hot , I will just turn on this machine and reverse it . Let's make it cold .

I'm not sure where I am going with these random yet strong opinions, other than to say that we reallly don't make a lot of sense guys.
It's summer . It's supposed to be hot . It's kinda like the oppposite of winter. Modern luxuries and conveniences are awesome . I don't like to sweat my ass off either , but I think alot of us have become a little spoiled .
