Thanks! It was a tad warm [86 degrees]. 
You don't have to guess as to the accuracy of thermometers, it's easy to
check if they are accurate.  Just get yourself another one, they should
match! Although, if the reading were different, it might be hard to find out 
which one is wrong....unless you bought *another* thermometer! 
Thanks again,
Take care
