re: 1980 Summer Heatwave

I worked as a lifeguard that summer making about $3.50. My brother worked blowing insulation for a homebuilder making 25 cents an hour less. He still resents me over that summer.

My brother and I shared a 1963 Plymouth Belvedere around that time with no A/C. It had push button automatic transmission. I think my dad bought it used for $250.
