Jay, that's really easy. How can you miss something that you never had? A/C was not in the picture until I'd guess 70 years ago for the rich and government, and more for the rest of us over the last 40 or 50 years. We do have it made compared, but I'd bet they spent more time in the rivers, ponds, and creeks this time of year than we do today. I'd also bet they were a stinking bunch of people as well.
By the way the majority didn't have ice cubes as a rule either.

Good point, Mike
