That's a wonderful memory indeed! We have lots of memories of fun things like this and the things we used to do as kids that wouldn't be common or existing at all today. Thankfully we get outdoors a lot and do play quite a bit but one thing that is certainly a factor in the challenging heat in a lot of areas is the lack of trees and shade. There have been some studies recently that highlight how just a few well placed trees can drop the temperatures considerably for neighborhoods by providing shade. Less sunlight gets to the ground which reduces temperatures and reduces the heat reflected back up from that. It sounds pretty basic to me but we seem to have forgotten it!

Yep, sadly, it appears that for some of us, in the quest for development, we have forgotten about the importance of balance. Thanks!
