Motionless

For as long as I stood chatting with one of the guides at the reenactment on Saturday, this woman sat motionless.  There was a “battle” going on nearby with gunfire and she didn’t even flinch.  I found the entire situation to be quite interesting.  It was early afternoon and very warm and humid.  Perhaps she was resting beneath the tree and hoping for a cool breeze.  I asked the guide how the reenactors endured in their heavy costumes in such warm weather.  He said that people today are wimps compared to our ancestors who had no fans or air conditioning.  He’s right!  We are so spoiled today.  I’ll try and remember this next time I start to whine about the heat and humidity….
