Some are. I'm not one of those. I come from the California coast and my ancestry is from the coasts of northern Europe. I don't like weather extremes. The American southwest is definitely not the place for me. All I can do is endure and look out for my animals and long for November.

What impresses me is people who came here in the 1800s from places like New England and set up house, without electricity or ice or really any way to cool off except for hand fans and shade. It's not like women back then could do ranch chores in shorts and a tank top. I do not know how they survived.

Yes I know what you mean - in those long dresses, and boots, long hair - I am sure hygiene was disgusting back then

But survive they did!
