Yeh, it's pretty rough here in PHX too. 62.5 degrees. I haven't
had to use the air conditioner for two weeks now. But my relatives in
Tillamook Oregon tell me it's been running as low as 20. 20 degrees plus
LOTS of humidity (Tillamook is abt 5 miles in from the beach). But I'm
plotting how to get back up there for a visit. Thanksgiving here, then jury
duty, then Christmas. This being retired is HARD work. Bob K in PHX, AZ.
