Yup, 40 and I still sweat just as much as you young kids, in fact I sweat more now than I did 10 years ago. Yesterday I mowed the back yard, then went up the river and scrubbed down the inside of my boat sweating a ton, then put the lower steps back in to the dock(they weigh a ton). I came home, showered and opened the windows to let the air blow through. It was nice last night, no need for AC. Right now it's 79 degrees in my house(I'm home right now) and it's fine. It will heat up to 85 by around 5-6 but then I open the windows to let the air go through. The problem is that kids have been growing up inside the AC for 15-20 years now and they can't deal with the heat. That is going to cause a health crisis too. I realize some people have health issues and need AC, but to hear everyone say they can't live without it is downright scary. AC at work is needed with computers and people being dressed up. But you can't find any children playing outside anymore during the summer. I know that modern AC is more efficient, but that's way outside my budget and I still wouldn't turn it on since I'm not in the house until 8-9 pm most nights. I realize that I choose not to waste energy but like I said, it's scary how many people can't live without it.
