It was a cold night in…
Brattleboro, 8/10/06, that brought out a couple hundred local residents to learn of the
poorly managed town finances. Outside the Brattleboro High School multi-purpose room the thermometer registered in the mid 50s yet inside the air conditioner was cranking while residents sought information and accountability.
Some of the local townspeople were in shawls, some were in sweats ( I guess if your’s truly was cooler, not cold, I would call it a “hoodie”) and some toughed it out in short sleeves.
There is absolutely zero point in wearing layers inside in August. Conservation be damned (apparently)! No one would have been hurt had the a/c not been on so forcefully. It is hard for me to believe we could be so selfish to be using the local nuclear station power to make us shiver in August while we leave the nuclear waste for our children and grandchildren and their grandchildren ( 24 generations +) to clean up our waste.
But take heart Oh town leaders. I left the high school meeting with enough time to pick up some vegetables at the local co-op and the temperature there was no better,
Many adults use deodorant and or antiperspirant. If we do not get warm enough to perspire in August, it is no wonder so many “young adults” choose not to use the stuff.
