In the Middle East in the summertime, to keep cool, a lot of people sleep on the rooftops.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As heat rises, so does the number of people trying to cool down homes, schools, hospitals and businesses. This isn't just about comfort; it's a matter of public health.
In London, a lot of the time you don't see the sun shine.
I used to sleep in the desert once every week, now it is every two weeks, most of the time alone. It's beautiful. What I enjoy is taking my food and cooking for myself.
If there is any way you can get colder than you do when you sleep in a bedding roll on the ground in a tent in southern Tunisia two hours before dawn, I don't know about it.
I think that we're so generous in some of our social problems that people are unwilling to get a job outside in the heat. Rather than get 15 dollars to go get roofing, they'd rather get 9 or 10 dollars in benefits.

Working exterior nights in Vancouver, when it's raining and snowing, is a little daunting, when you haven't slept.
The trouble with us is that the ghetto of the Middle Ages and the children of the twentieth century have to live under one roof.
The sky's the limit if you have a roof over your head.
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
