But, you see, I like the heat as much as you like the cold. I'm old enough to
remember what it was like before air conditioning was so common and it didn't
bother me then either. Our thermostat is set on 80F all summer and it
maintains the house cool enough to tell the difference when you come in from
outside. 105F is uncommon, mostly our summer temps are in the
low-to-mid-nineties.
