My thermostat at home is set at 67 degrees and my parents did the same thing.  I grew used
to 67 and sweat like a pig when it hits 75.  Oh, and the humidity....

Sorry, no encouragement from me.  I left in 1989 after entering in 1988.  Grace Watson had
crappy food, but after hearing compliments by other college students from other
universities, I decided to stop complaining about Grace Watson.  Instead, I quietly snuck
to Nathaniel's... but now that they're closed... hmph.  Oh, well.

At least there's Del Taco in Rochester.  They've been around California for YEARS and I
truly missed 'em when I was in Rochy (they didn't exist back then).
