@hybotics Mine is 66° in winter (heater setting) to 83° in summer (outside)

@kdfrawg A few months ago, in the middle of winter, a friend was heading off to try fixing a client's computer. The client called to say he'd turned the heating up to 13°C especially for the visit. When asked what the previous temperature had been, he replied "8°C."
Had to have been born in a snow cave, I reckon.

@jextxadore It's a pity the steak was off, my friend spent his teenage years on King Island, in Bass Strait between Victoria & Tasmania. King Island farm produce in general is regarded as serving the gourmet sector of the food market. He still has family on the island & they regularly send him such goodies as superb aged cheddars & cyrovac steaks.
Relieved. Was at a friend's place for dinner last night. He has some cyrovac rump steak that's usually fabulously tender & flavoursome but this lot was off, must have been in the fridge too long or something was wonky at the meatworks, he reckoned. Neither of us could manage more than a few mouthfuls, this was 14 hours ago & I'm feeling fine now.
The eggs laid by his pair of free-range chooks were magnificent though, and he gave me 10 of those to take home. We sampled a trio of aged cheddars, my 4-yr-old being judged the most potent but all were fine cheeses. I took along a couple of litres of farm-produced milk from two different dairies for hime to try: he's been bemoaning the lack of "real" milk but he's happy now.
Rotten bugger of a cat. She's just jumped down from the windowsill above the bed and landed on all 4 feet. Right in the middle of my not inconsiderable belly. OOOOFF!
@phoneboy Consider the population of the state of Vermont. It's no more & probably less than that of DC.

Much smoke in the air outside. Fire Brigade app says an uncontained small fire is burning 3.4 km to the north. That's mostly farmland with some small areas of bush & scrub.
