73 degrees and air conditioning?

So I was looking at a discussion board this morning at I was reading some posts b/t some ppl in Germany and one of the girls said it was a good thing that she had air conditioning b/c it was hot. So being the curious meteorologist that I am I looked online to see how hot it was................. 73 degrees. really? are you kidding me? that's jeans, bring a cotton jacket cause it might get cold weather. shoot we don't turn on the air conditioning until it gets up to like 85 in the house, not outside. It's all about the fans, pools, and beaches... and least amount of clothing socially acceptable. It's 105 in palm springs and we are slathering the suntan lotion on and chillaxin' out at the pool. I guess we are mutants here in the southwest and have evolved to the point where we don't think it's unbearable until it's like 100. not 73. Anyway, I just that was funny, 2 more days of freedom 'til I have to go to work... mind-numbing work.
