Letter: On sleeping outside in hot weather Comments re article 105218 Meanwhile back in the Shire July 1934 By Billy Joe Fudge My Dad, Ordell Fudge, who passed in 2009 was born in November of 1925, and would have been 8 during the Summer of 1934. Dad loved all the seasons but his favorites would have been Fall and Winter. Although he loved both because it was a time for hunting and trapping, which were his passion; he loved the cooler and even cold weather. When folks would lament his love for the cold, he would always say, "you can put on enough clothes to stay warm but you can't take off enough to get cool"! Of course, for those of the last couple of generations which have been blessed, or maybe even cursed depending upon one's perspective, with air conditioned homes, businesses, work places and transportation; this statement might just not carry as much meaning as it did for the generations which grew up without the benefit of air conditioned indoor spaces. As to Jim's reference to sleeping outside, Dad spoke often of sleeping on the front porch on a pallet because of the unbearable temperatures inside his family's home during his years growing up on Toria Road and Rowetown. I suppose a 107 degree heat and no air conditioning would precipitate the appearance of pallets on a number of porches, even today! This story was posted on 2019-07-21 20:33:01
