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.

Been here eight years and can't stand it when it gets below 75.

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
