My co-worker's in-laws claim that when they first started burning wood, they made that mistake. With the lights out, you could read by the glow of the cast iron stove and stovepipe. They slept in shifts that night. Wouldn't dare try to cool it with anything but air when it's that hot.
Guess it was about 20 below that night, they had windows open and fans going, and still pushing 100 inside.
Thought I had some hedgeapple located, but it turned out to be locust. And when I moved out here, the guy I was working with told me some trees were hedgeapple, but my current co-workers father-in-law says they are burr oak.

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
