It's starting to get colder at night still they are about a month early in my mind. It may have to do with that fact that this stations takes months before they get new diesel. Also the regular pump side was out so i had to use the big rig nozzle and pump it really slow and ended up spilling some. Also i have no idea how a big rig would even get diesel at this place but thats a different story.

It has been freezing cold at night here in Dallas, TX. It has gotten in the low 60's! Waaay too cold for me. It's 87 out right now and it bearable. Anything below 80 is cold to me. I keep the apartment set on 80-85 in the summer.

Living in Maine, you don't have much of a choice. HAHA I lived in MA for a while and it seemed like it was either bitterly cold or hot and humid.
