Re: OT: to my friends

Yeah...when I said the temperatures here plummet at night... I was
talking like down to 55...say, isn't that usually the temperture in
those caves that bears hibernate in ?

I was talking about real hypothermia dear, like when I got stranded
in<br>the mountains. Not in the office. And I'd love 77, that would be a
heat<br>wave in this meat locker....<br><br><br>---------- Original

warming of the room does as the the<br>>programmed thermostat brings it
up to 67 degrees.<br>><br>><br>>It's not my intention to argue. How

I'd be a goner.<br>>> <br>>> <br>>> ---------- Original Message
