75-85 is also my preferred summertime temp.
When we lived in north Florida, I'd have business trips a few times a
month to south Florida, both on the Miami side and on your side, well,
usually in Tampa-St. Pete. Almost always, as soon as I got off the plane
in your latitudes in the spring or summer, I was knocked over by the heat.

That's why I preferred northern Florida. It *felt* better to me.

We talked about this before, and a lot has to do with acclimatization
and mind control.
I go to St Pete beach every year and when my car A/C went out the
first day last year, we just stayed inside or on the beach mid day.
We found that the 85-90 degree stuff didn't bother us when driving.
Of course we weren't on the highway, so having the car windows
open was fine.
Other years we had the air on under those conditions and probably
would have sweated without it.
Took about 3 days to get acclimated.
Using mind control was about 50% of it.
Not the Mr Spock stuff, just not bitching about the heat.
Or even talking about it.
