“Am finding the episodes informative, enjoyable, and worthwhile. Just wish the facts about life before AC had included mention of the interim cooling system, i.e. evaporative cooling. It’s not as if residents in Phoenix, for instance, went from nothing to air conditioning, from complete misery to complete comfort. When the humidity was low during hot days, the cooler, as it was commonly known, comforted us quite nicely. It was when the summer’s high humidity set in and combined with the high temperatures that the cooler became useless and we were all miserable. For those days, air conditioning was, and is, a boon in the desert.”
