On the other hand, by mid-April I'm ready to turn on that same thermostat to get the central air conditioner going. Evenings are somewhat cool in early season but daytime temps and humidity is starting to get high. Once its on, I'll run it until mid September (pure electric $$)

Pay for heat or pay for cool; either way it costs a lot of money unless you want to live half the year north and half south

I teach a summer forestry course (a field course "camp" that most university forestry programs have for college juniors). Think about learning to cruise timber at 100 degrees and 100% humidity. This is my 32nd time to teach, not counting my own summer camp conducted by UMaine in 1977 (half in Carrabasset Valley, half in Bridgeton).

I'm looking forward to my move back north

Brings back fond memories of the Summer program for SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Warrensberg, NY in 1973.
