Somewhere on UT campus they have a picture of the Texas State house from something like 1908 with tons of People sitting on the lawn. They are all dressed in black suits and the women are wearing full length dresses. There is no shade just sitting in the August sun.
Looking at that i wondered how they did that. But I guess they were just used to it.
Funny people think the difference between now and 100 years ago is that different.
