What do you set the heat to at night?
During the day?
Thank you.
I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics
For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president.

62-65 at night, warming to 70 for wakeup time!

If I had my way, we'd have no heat at night, not one bit, and I'd sleep with the window open (yes, in the winter.) My wimpy Floridian husband would like the house to be 80 degrees around the clock. He's insane.
60 is a nice compromise.
off at night.
Occassionally, on a particularly chilly evening I'd spike it up to the low 70's, but it would soon start to seem too hot and back down it'd go. For some reason, in the winter evenings, right after the sun went down, it always seemed to get chillier even with the thermostat the same. It seemed to be the time when I'd catch a chill and want to spike it for a bit to make it a bit cozier while making dinner. I'd sometimes regret it though because then I'd feel like I was baking.
Now, in AZ, you know that it's such a different story, it's not worth discussing. But anyway that was the norm for us in UT during the winter. Hope that helps! ~Bethany
