Dear people in cool areas,

Sweaters and winter apparel are definitely OK. Temperatures that may seem shirt-sleeve weather to you cold-blooded types can seem unbearably cold to us in the tropics. When I was growing up, I spent all of my summers on the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. Like everyone there, I complained if the temperature rose above 75 Farenheit, that it was getting too hot. Now that I have lived in the tropics for 13 years, like everyone else here on the coast, I complain if the temperature drops below 75, that it is too cold! Actually, in some of our higher mountain communities, the temperature can go below freezing in December and January.

Faithfully,
John+
