Temperature

This picture shows today's temperature at the peak of perfection!   It is exactly the same temperature inside and outside, as shown on this indoor/outdoor thermometer.  In addition, there is a slight breeze, and a clear, sunny and blue sky.  One could not ask for a more lovely day.

My life in temperature, however, is not always so rosey. Gerry and I have very different internal thermometers.   He is cold blooded.  I am hot blooded. In the winter, when it is cold out, he definitely wants to maintain the inside temperature at a steady 70 degrees.  When it goes below, to 68, or so, he is more than willing to turn up the heat.   On the other hand, in the summer, when it is hot and we are using the air conditioner,  he is much less willing to be satisfied with a 70 degree inside temperature.  As soon as it reaches 70 degrees, he turns it up to 75.  Now why is that?  Isn't 70 degrees inside the same in the summer as in the winter?  Apparently not, and I just don't get that!

For the sake of our marriage, I suggested that we not get a programmable thermostat, because after all,  at what and whose temp what would we program it ?   Instead, we keep our manual thermostat, so that both of us can constantly turn it up or down behind the other's back, hoping that will go unnoticed for a while, to reach our own comfort level.  That makes for a more equal marriage, where no one person has all the control.
After all,  I don't know how to program a thermostat!
