You forgot "swamp coolers" and moldy leather shoes in the back of the closet.
And the coffee can swamp coolers for the car? Back in the "good old Daze"
Wife would hate to pull the string on the car swamp cooler because she would get a shower until the water blew off. I was driving so it didnt bother me, just the front seat passenger got wet.
And yes, the attic fans. I have one in this house but with AC and electric so cheap, it gets no use at all.
and I agree, dont miss it at all, but do admit I have become a sissy. Not sure I could live that way now. No wonder life expectancy was only 65!!
I am sitting here looking out the window at the bay, outside temp is 114F apparent and inside its a nice cool Aircondioned 79F .
You know, even in july it only costs me $200 a month to stay cool and I will bet that in Wisconsin it costs more than that to keep warm in the winter.....
Dad bought a swamp cooler for the car as he and mom traveled west. It hung on the passenger window. Mom, the woman who was never satisfied, LOL was maybe almost satisfied but would never admit to it. And they had to stop for ice too to make it even more efficient. Her complaint was, could not see out the window. I dont recall she ever complaint about being too cool, in the desert summer heat. LOL
Some folks would use dry ice and die, if they were not really really careful.
