Oh, yes!! As a child, I spent a night in White Settlement just outside West Fort Worth with my Aunt Nelda. The LOW temperature at the airport that night was 90! Nelda assured us it was cooler at the airport than her house. They had no air conditioning, which we were used to, but even that tried and true Texan method of sleeping on the porch (or out in the yard) provided no relief. To make matters worse, they lived near a stagnant creek which provided humidity and mosquitoes. We never went back to Aunt Nelda's house in the summer. As my Daddy put it, "If I wanted to go to hell, I would just behave badly and get sent to a proper one instead of Nelda's version. At least I would have a good time on the way."
