Title: Heat and the Elderly
Post by: Towntalk on July 19, 2015, 11:09:41 PM
Truthfully how many of you take the time to check on the elderly in your neighborhood, or do you have the attitude I couldn't care less?
Fortunately my apartment is air conditioned and I keep a half gallon of cold water in the frig, but then not every Senior Citizen is as blessed as I am, and we all need to look out for each other and not just sit around flapping our gums after the fact. But then I have little confidence in peoples compassion toward the elderly.

Our public libraries are air conditioned.  Go there to read a book and to keep cool.   8)

And I suspect that Old Granny Tootwhistle has her lead loaded rolling pin to educate the trouble makers on the wisdom of avoiding your neighborhood like the plague.  :laugh:

Individuals could just move into a friend's home that has air conditioning.
