[AT] test

[charlie hill]

It's the same here Dick.
I wasn't trying to sound like some Tarzan or something
but the average winter temp here is in the 50's.  We do
have some cold nights in the 20's and sometimes in the
teens but most nights it's in the low 30's or 40's with highs
in the 50's or 60's but some of these folks dress like they
are in northern Minnesota or something.  No one has to walk
anywhere far here.  Every building has it's own parking lot even
the shopping centers on a busy Christmas season day have
parking spots within 100 yards of the store door.  It just doesn't
make sense to me to wear a wool overcoat,  wool scarf and a hat
to walk 200 feet in 30 degree weather.

All I ever hear is "wear many layers" when it's this cold.   I'm not
saying I'm tough or anything, but all I need is one layer, been that
way for years. A house is considered a layer. Right?
