One difference that jumped out to me was VPI's heating methods...but they are in Texas...those of us further north don't have the luxury of 83 degree winter days....

Haha....Texas is ALL things in the winter, what with it being so big and all. :P But here in south Texas...winter is far more balmy than it is cold. Maybe a total of 2-3 weeks of truly winter-like temps and the rest of the winter is very pleasant.

I thought it was geometry? At least that's what my astrology teacher told me when we were studying the solar system.
