Bill,
Clearly you should move to a more northerly clime. It's apparent that
Florida temps are the root of the problem. (For the rest of the list,
Bill and Marianna are long-time members of the MGCCWDCC and recently
became "permanent snowbirds", deserting us in the DC area for year-rouns
top down driving weather in Florida.)
Serves you right!
