      I aim for mid 70's both summer and winter . I can handle a bit cooler   
   in winter , but with the humidity here over about 75 or so I just don't   
   like it . Probably comes from those Utah high mountain desert summers   
   while I was growing up . If the humidity got over 35% it was raining ...
