 CS> It's a mild 92F here just now and I had to close part of the 'lanai' 
 CS> (french doors) as it was getting to chilly with the fan.

MK> Huh?  92F and chilly?!?!?!?!  Sorry but I have doubts about that.

Believe it!  It's a mild rainy 93F right now and i just closed off some of
the ¨windows as it was getting a bit chilly.  Windfactor I am sure.

When folks say 'heat index' I gather they mean not a real temp, but what it
¨feels like.  'Chill Factor' is the older term I recall for winds making a
¨feeling of coldness due to body heat loss.


MK> Ah!  Yeah I know what you mean.  After living on the Island for many y
MK> I now find that 10C is chilly whereas when I was a Flatlander I would
MK> have laughed at that statement.  Mind you I am not getting any younger
MK> either and cold isn't what it used to be.

10C is acceptable once I am adapted to it, though i wear a jacket.  It is
after ¨all, above freezing.  Now -10C is a cold thing to me.  I suffer it
but not ¨gladly.


 CS> In Hawaii, you 
 CS> break out the sweaters you broght with you from Canada, when it hits 
 CS> 65F. In Bahrain, you break the same thing out when it hits 80F.

MK> Yeah.  Us Canadians know about sweaters.  Parkas too.

Grin, live in Bahrain for a bit and you'd break out the parka when it hits
50F ¨after already breaking out the heavy sweaters.

 CS> Most of us use so much 'AC/Heat' that we are not all that related to 
 CS> the local weather but we will not turn on the AC here, til it hits 
 CS> 100F and we are *quite* comfortable because we are used to it.

MK> Man!  I'd be frying in that heat.  Personally 20-22C is perfect.  Any
MK> higher then that and I start whining and complaining.

Well my friend, you just are not acclimated to it!  You would become so if
you ¨lived here.  Meantime, I guess if i *had no choice* I'd learn to adapt
to ¨Canada winters....
