[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1863685, member: 8853"] I hear you! I was between 7-8 years old when my grandparents got our first water cooled evaporative fan. That thing was great. I slept under it on a pallet on the floor. I never had to experience the dust bowl storms, but we still had lots of dust storms when I was growing up. That dust/sand would blow in from down south of Red River and the sky would be red. It was impossible to keep the dust out. I can still remember sleeping on sheets with sand in there with me. Just for kicks, here's a picture of me on the old farm where I was born about 3 1/2 miles north of Healdton. You're looking at the plumbing and the old smoke house. That smoke house was newer than the shotgun house we lived in. I don't ever recall even thinking about the heat. If it got hot, I just ran down and jumped in the old muddy tank (pond to some of you). Man, I've not had it so good since. [ATTACH=CONFIG]23041[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
