 BM> Hurricane seasons, perhaps?  Also, as you get older, you continue to

 BM> its pleasures, the cost of moderating the effects of it in your house.

 Perhaps that but also up north you did'nt notice twenty degree drops
much as it was most always cold to colder .. :) (laughing)... HOT days
were / are the exception up north rather than the rule (during the
summer)...and mild by day is the usual case here but not there during
winter. October has seen some cold snaps here but for the most part
it's been fantastic...

Even now it's only in the seventies by day but as I've gotten used to
it, as long ast he breeze/wind isn't nippy it feels like warmer toasty
cozy eighty.

I've got a question. I've a daughter who will bundle up in a
sweatshirt on days I'm in shorts and short sleeves, by day (at this
time where it gets down to the sixties at night)- but at night I'm in
a sweater and she's in her long jeans and tanktop... It's weird. She's
hot when I'm cold and I'm cold when she's hot. hmm.

 BM> I don't have a/c, so from my POV, at the peak of the hot season,
 BM> anything below 80 is cool, and 70 is downright cold.  As the weather
 BM> turns cooler, "hot" becomes correspondingly cooler.


 70 used to feel cold to me, but here the air is dryer so it feels
warmer but only when the sun is shining and that blasted wind from the
north isn't nipping at us.. It's so weird when the sun feels warm but
the breeze is nippy.

How do you surivive 100 degrees daily with no a/c??? Now that's what
you tell when some wise guy  up north calls us wusses for calling a
mere fifty : freezing.

 > PS: Do you have a period of adjustment to endure? As

 > the eighties all week then wop! down to the sixties?

 BM> Yeah.  Actually, spring and fall both, I have to adjust.

 I don't mind it when the temp jumps up, it's when it plunges down I
have a shock....  It's been very nice this week.. now just what is
next.. I'm keeping track this year. I never did before. November will
bring us sixties by day and forties by night. December will see about
the same but an encroaching fifties by day and lower forties by
night.. Then of course somewhere between January and the end of
February we may get one of thsoe horrible DROPS into the twenties
(argh!) which some not from the north folks here happily pray for the
white stuff which if we get any quickly melts to an ice rink.
