LOL...I only have one "concern"...being from Florida, (central florida, not glorified Alabama with a beach) at 20 degrees I'd be setting my furniture on fire to keep warm, if I could uncurl myself from the fetal position under all the down comfortors and a few featherbeds and every Newf I could find!
