Cooler is fine. Yesterday it was 72 and it felt great. The problem is when I go out in the morning and it's 35 or I go out at night and it's 44.

My brother who is still up north feels that 40 is comfortable whereas at 40 I'm staying in the house or bundling up.

A few years ago I had a Fairbanks layover followed by a Ft. Lauderdale layover. In FAI the temp was 40 and people were out in shorts and T-Shirt. Couple days later I’m in FLL and eating outside at a touristy ocean restaurant. I’m in short sleeves. The waitress said “aren’t you cold” I said it’s 70 degs and she said “I know, it’s freezing.”

It’s amazing we live in a country that is so vast the temp difference from one end to the other is huge. I think my record is Nome, AK at -55degs to be followed 24 hours later with a Palm Springs layover at 85degs. Not many countries have 140 deg temp spread.

Most people would be better acclimating themselves to whatever weather they are in , there is an old survival saying never become to comfortable in your environment , meaning the more heat or AC you use , the more you need. I turn AC off after dark and have never had heat on more then a few morning to get the chill out for about 15 minute . I also do all my biking and walking in afternoon no matter how hot and no cold drinks even if I’m at the beach . I find it much easier to enjoy the outdoors because of this and it’s no hardship at all , I’ll be 82 tomorrow and very much enjoying the outdoors no matter what the temperature is

Happy Birthday!
