not. 68 sounds perfectly good to me, but I think Carol is in Arizona
where maybe she's used to things being warmer.

Carol responds:

Exactly. I used to live in Flagstaff (I remember having *seven feet*
of snow on the ground one year), but since 1982, I've lived in Tucson,
where snow is rare and a really cold night is one that drops below
freezing, and I've become acclimated to warm weather. A high in the
fifties (F) here is considered cold, and people who aren't snowbirds
(winter residents) or tourists wear coats or jackets. Well, I do,
anyway. I have virtually no body fat (5 feet ten, 125 pounds), so I
need a coat (outdoors) and (like Dumbledore) nice, warm socks (indoors
or out) to feel comfortable in winter. For me, 72 degrees is the ideal
temperature inside, if it weren't for heat drying out the air--and the
cost of electricity.

Carol, wishing that she still enjoyed cold weather because snow (when
you don't have to drive on it) is beautiful
