Women’s Rowing as an NCAA sport was created to help meet the requirements of title 9. Many schools added programs to help compensate for the vast amounts of money being poured into the football programs.
So when places with huge expensive football programs like Texas – Austin and University of Miami came a courting I should have been interested. But I couldn’t imagine living somewhere THAT warm.
And this weekend reminded me why I chose not to live in Southern States. I was miserable in the heat and lack of air conditioning.
With temperatures reaching 95F (not including humidity), even the hydrangea bush was wilting away.

When the heat is this bad, it’s even too hot for ice cream. So we have to resort to Sherbet instead. Good thing Friendly’s makes a Wattamelon cake.
How do you deal with the heat?

In the south, they have air conditioning everywhere. I lived in Arkansas for three years, and while it’s warm you just kind of get used to it. Here I just keep a lot of fans around.
I think that acclimatizing is a huge part of it. I’m so not acclimatized to heat. And for the most part it doesn’t get hot for that long in the summer.
You are closer to the beach than I am too
You are getting no sympathy from me ma’am. Well, maybe a little since you don’t have air conditioning.
How did ANYONE live in the Southern/Prairie States before the invention of Air conditioning? I’m happy to be at work today.
It is so hot. We spent the entire weekend at the lake in the water trying to stay cool. Since our water heater broke I’ve been taking cold showers and it has really helped cool down and with the condition of my hair and skin. A bad had been turned into a positive I guess.
