   Central air here is still on heat mode, although we've had a few days   
   over 90F/32C so far.  Got enough insulation that the house isn't getting   
   too hot then.   Can't say I've noticed that many over-chilled facilities   
   around here - if they're adding humidity, the place is cooled to perhaps   
   78F/26C (many places use so-called swamp coolers, or evaporation coolers,   
   as they're much cheaper to operate), and if it's straight air   
   conditioning, anything cooler than 82F/28C is extravagance. During summer   
   days, the house is set to 85F/29C, though we'll cool it further evenings   
   when the electric rates are less exorbitant.  Where you really notice it   
   is when you get out of the pool, and the water starts evaporating - which   
   cools to the dew-point.   You learn to towel off REAL FAST!
