Today it is 93 degrees with a "feels like" of 106.  Thanks to Willis
Carrier, I'm sitting in air conditioned comfort at my chosen temperature

It was very hot outside, on the road with the sun on asphalt, it was 98
degrees.  Thanks to Frederick McKinley Jones, my car is air conditioned

My step-mom, a person raised in the cold climes of Sweden, was thinking

We had lunch at her house. I bought some roasted chicken, beets,

Serious vegetables. Is that because she's Swedish and not Hawaiian?
