Even though I'm 26 years removed from my youth in the great, white north, I never take my AC for granted during Baltimore summers. I doubt I'll ever get used to the heat. I've always kind of wondered what the US would be like had AC not been invented.

It would be more like it was before AC was invented. Washington would shut down for the summer, and we might all be better off.
