How our ancestors figured this out is beyond me. I sure am glad they did. We may need these concepts again someday. I was a really, really little kid and remember someone emptying that water pan from under their Ice Box and then asking my Mom about it when we were walking home. And I have seen those little buildings but had no idea what they were there for. And now I know. I'm a little smarter today.
