but back to the point

I have a pal who wouldn't consider cruising without air conditioning. This from a guy who drives a truck on the North Slope. That's laughable to me but wonder how many forum readers feel the same? I'm sure we all have our bottom comfort level line.

True That! But warm beer? Yuck!
