I decided to take a look at Mad Unicorn, new from Netflix, mostly on the strength of a trailer with lots of action in it. It turns out that these scenes were rather deceptive. I've just finished the third of the seven episodes and it's actually about a poor guy from the mountains of
Thailand who has a dream to get rich with a package delivery service.
He's got a lot of initiative but only a sketchy idea of how to go about achieving his dream. An inspirational talk by a wealthy businessman
lights a fire under him and he starts his journey, with the businessman
soon becoming a mentor to him.
Things don't quite go according to plan though and our hero and the businessman soon have a major falling out, which adds revenge to our
hero's motivations. There's also a pretty girl in the mix, although she
is already engaged to someone else. In a nutshell, this is a drama -
with comedic elements - about a business startup. I should mention that
it is quite fast-paced, much like an action-adventure.
The story is set in Thailand and China. I'm watching the subtitled
version because virtually every word of the dialog is in Thai or
Mandarin so you may prefer the dubbed version.
IMDB rates it 8.5 and it has lots of glowing reviews. One of the
featured reviews indicates that this is based on a true story. None of
the actors so far have been familiar to me so don't expect to see your favourite actors in this.

I decided to watch the rest of Mad Unicorn this afternoon rather than
risk heat stroke. I was very satisfied with this series and strongly recommend it to anyone that likes something a little different from the run-of-the-mill. They manage to avoid a lot of cliches while telling an uplifting story. It reminds me of Karate Kid in that respect.

I still don't understand how ANYBODY lived in your area before the
advent of A/C. If I was a pioneer, I would have just moved on to
somewhere cooler....
Then again, you're not even in the hottest part of the world. Millions
of people live places where the temperatures are substantially higher,
like India, where the pavement literally melts on the hottest days.

somewhere cooler....
There's a whole science to building homes that will stay cool without
A/C. They are often harder to build but it works and has been done for thousands of years. It's starts with building very thick walls that
can absorb the heat in the day keeping the inside cool and slowly
releasing the heat in the night keeping the inside warmer than the
outside.
Same idea was done in the South but with big airy rooms that let the
air circulate and lots of windows to let in the air and try to capture
the cross breezes. I got to experience that myself growing up as many
of the homes we lived in were built just like that.
Then again, you're not even in the hottest part of the world. Millions
of people live places where the temperatures are substantially higher,
like India, where the pavement literally melts on the hottest days.
Melted pavement is so strange. I experienced that once in South
Carolina as a boy. I think the asphalt at that Goodyear station was a
cheaper kind, but even though I was 10 or 11 years old, and thus
fairly small, I sunk into the asphalt as I walked across one hot
summer day. It was so strange to look back and see where you had
walked.

in the Valley one day when I was there and my friend and I stood outside
for a few hours waiting to get into a TV taping of Wings. I don't know
what the temperature was where we were but it was hot. Yet it was dry
so it really wasn't hard to take at all, not like here when it's humid
and you're sweating constantly just because of the humidity.

I wouldn't say that but more people were used to the temperatures than
now. We still have people doing road work or building houses in all

hot temps. My brother in law being one as he is an electrical lineman.
Of course one of the big differences between hot in Arizona and hot in
Ontario is the humidity we have versus the dryness you get. I've only
experienced dry heat like you get once, when I spent a week in LA a few
months after the Rodney King riots. It was 79F in Santa Monica and 107
in the Valley one day when I was there and my friend and I stood outside
for a few hours waiting to get into a TV taping of Wings. I don't know
what the temperature was where we were but it was hot. Yet it was dry
so it really wasn't hard to take at all, not like here when it's humid
and you're sweating constantly just because of the humidity.
Yeah, I still remember heading out from Georgia where the summer temps
were in the 90s with humidity running from 50% to 100% (when getting
ready to rain) to Phoenix where the temps were running mid 90s, but
with a low humidity. Walking around in Georgia was miserable because
if you sweat the moisture just stayed on you. Where as in Phoenix (or surrounding areas) even though the temps were mid 90s with a humidity
of maybe 10% the sweat would evaporate within moments helping to keep
you a bit cooler and dryer than in Georgia.

advent of A/C. If I was a pioneer, I would have just moved on to
somewhere cooler....
There's a whole science to building homes that will stay cool without
A/C. They are often harder to build but it works and has been done for
thousands of years. It's starts with building very thick walls that
can absorb the heat in the day keeping the inside cool and slowly
releasing the heat in the night keeping the inside warmer than the
outside.
Same idea was done in the South but with big airy rooms that let the
air circulate and lots of windows to let in the air and try to capture
the cross breezes. I got to experience that myself growing up as many
of the homes we lived in were built just like that.
fact that people with money could build like that while people without
money couldn't and just had to endure the heat as best they could. And I
mean that for every part of the world, not just the US South.
I can remember the odd hot day where the asphalt became sticky. I assumeThen again, you're not even in the hottest part of the world. Millions >>>> of people live places where the temperatures are substantially higher, >>>> like India, where the pavement literally melts on the hottest days.
Melted pavement is so strange. I experienced that once in South
Carolina as a boy. I think the asphalt at that Goodyear station was a
cheaper kind, but even though I was 10 or 11 years old, and thus
fairly small, I sunk into the asphalt as I walked across one hot
summer day. It was so strange to look back and see where you had
walked.
those were the days when the pavement was starting to get hot enough to
melt....
I saw a picture of a zebra crossing in Delhi, India where the straight
lines had all gotten wavy in the heat. Here is a picture I found of that
in Google Images:
https://images.app.goo.gl/Rm1d5tRgo8qd3RGW9
Wow, I thought you meant they had zebras in India and the heat affected
their stripes.

Actually that's not at all the case. At least for the South even the
poorest homes were built with big empty spaces and lots of windows.
Now they weren't built like the plantation mansions, just wood frames,
but they still used the same ideas. Hell, even the shotgun homes used
those idea. So named because you could stand at the front door and
fire a shotgun through the house without hitting a wall if the doors
were open. I saw many of them when riding on the school bus and yes,
you could see complete thru the house when the doors were open.
Now I'm not sure about the adobe homes out west. Though to be fair
people often built their own homes just using mud and hay. Not a good
mix in a rainy area but fine in a dry climate.
