You can not cruise (or live in) the gulf states in the summer time
without A/C.

Perhaps. We find that the biggest issue this time of year is the
mosquitos. The area where we live sprays and that keeps them under
control. Elsewhere however when you try to open things up at night
to ventilate, the critters just about carry you away. A/C solves all
that.

In Maine last week the mosquitos were atrocious. Lots of rain hasn't
helped the problem. When we opened the outer door, there'd be a thick
swarm around the screen door. Opening that, very quickly, would always
let about a dozen into the trailer.

Pain in the butt. I probably went through a pint of Deet.

I took that to heart the first time you told me.
And I intend to have it, if only on a limited scale for sleeping.
But despite that being a general rule, some acclimate better than
others.
After all, there were people living there before A/C.
My dad's family lived there for 4 years in the '20's.
Mostly Daytona and the Keys. Of course Daytona is on the Atlantic.
But my uncle and his wife lived for many years in a duplex on a canal
in Cape Coral. No A/C, just fans.
Not my cuppa, but some do it just fine.

I was in Yuma Arizona in the middle of the summer way back when for a week.
It topped out at 123 and was well over 110 the rest of the days. One day, we
decided to walk into town. My tennis shoes blistered. We were on the
Colorado most of the time, so we could always get out of the water if we ran
out of beer, worst case of course. :-)
