“I stay at the pool and at the beach. I don’t like to run the air conditioner too much, because it gets too expensive. I keep the fans on all the time at home.”
Alma Rodriguez
Los Angeles
“I don’t really go outside unless it’s really necessary. I just go from one air conditioner to another air conditioner. It’s not good to stay outside too long.”
Karen Wortham
Alameda
“I’m in the office all day, so it doesn’t really hit me till I go outside. I used to go walking in the morning, but like by 6:30, it’s already hot, so no more walking.”
Ricky Collier
Los Angeles
“I’m probably the only one that likes the heat. … I’ve always liked it hot. This is Southern California, isn’t it supposed to be hot?”
