AMEN!! As I'm found of telling our local friends, "Yes I was born and
raised in Massachuesettes. That means I know better than to stay out in the
cold. Staying cold is NOT the reason why we moved down here."
Maybe someday we'll move back to Hawaii... <VBG>
"room temperature" for me means 75 to 80. (preferably with less than 100
percent humidity though ;-)
When we decided to leave Hawaii due to the high cost of living, I wanted
the Keys, and she wanted Conneticut. We split the difference and ended up
here.
I was working on a civilian ship with a philipino crew last Sunday. They
were bundled up like we used to be back in Mass in March. Temp was 50.
Guess it's part of where you're from and how thin your blood is. I've lived
in northern Alaska and Hawaii compliments of the Coast Guard. I'll stick
with Hawaii any day.
