I know Marc can't stand it when the temperatures drop below 75. He says it reminds him that winter is not far behind. That's why you are supposed to live in the moment.

KMOV.COM is even asking viewers to vote on the new addition, and so far the negatives responses are topping the positive reviews by nearly 48%.
