        So, is that daylight-savings degrees, or standard degrees?

        Also, you're too kind -- for not reporting who delivered this
"temperature check." Maybe they're working up a new concept -- "time and
temperature together" -- but don't have all the bugs worked out yet.

        Now let's hear from all the others on the group who have never made
an embarrassing blooper on the air <g>. I will say that most of mine have
not been this amusing. Just plain old regular ordinary plain dumb and
stupid.
