    I like how the tree grows and gets more lush from panel to panel………Actually, I don’t think hot summer days bothered us back then…We were young…With no air conditioning either…..

    In panel 3, it would have been fun to see Janis in her “saucepan” hair-do.

    Sit outside in the shade and catch a breeze, that’s better than being in a hot house…

    Another ten years and they’ll be outside in sweaters in the summer.

    Yes, I believe we do notice such things much more as we get deeper into our golden years. I lived in Pennsylvania between the ages of five and almost nine, and recall the snow being up to my waist (well, my waist was closer to the ground then), but remember nothing about what must have been the awful cold. Sure noticed in when I was in Wisconsin in the 2000’s. In old-timey St. Pete, heat came with the territory, with no A/C, even when I was teaching at the Junior College. (I shared the revolving electric fan with the students, which some teachers didn’t.) In church, we used “funeral fans.” Anyone remember those? (Funeral home ads were printed on them.)Now, those of us who can afford A/C think we’ve been kilt if we have to walk across a parking lot in the daytime sun.

    A reverse phenomenon is going on up north where we live.

    Summer ain’t too bad (although we’ve been suffering unusually high levels of humidity) but winter is usually brutal (regular weeks of nights of -37F) and the cost of keeping warm is skyrocketing.

    I foresee a time when some parts of the country are depopulated because you can’t afford to live there in the winter and New Economy wages are so low. Not snowbirds but people actually leaving and never coming back.

    I remember when I was in college I spent one winter in Michigan’s upper peninsula (right on lake Superior) with nothing more than a light winter jacket. Now days I won’t go out on a winter day without the heaviest coat I own as well as scarfs, gloves, and a sweater underneath.

    Talking about the whether, whether to or whether not to. LOL

    I think it is a combination of age and good sense. When we were kids, we’d ride our bikes, and race and chase, even though it was 100F – or above – until our parents told us to come in and have a glass of iced tea “because it’s too hot for all that running around”. It’s a wonder some of us kids didn’t have heat stroke!

    I wonder if the consistently shorter hair means it was hotter each summer.
