Everyone keeps the air running in Stapleton, it\u2019s just a question of what temperature. And although there are Stapleton couples who get along and agree on most everything, no couple ever completely agrees on what temperature the house should be at a specific point in time. \u201cI love my wife,\u201d said resident Tom Hickey. \u201cBut, she thinks it\u2019s okay to sleep in a house that\u2019s 75 degrees. That\u2019s just not possible. So, after we go to bed, I sneak down, and crank that thing down to 71 or maybe 72 at the highest.\u201d Tom will sometimes wake up later in the night to find himself burning hot on top of the covers. \u201cI\u2019ll head back downstairs and see that it\u2019s back up to 75,\u201d said Hickey. \u201cI know she changed it.\u201d This same situation happens all over Stapleton every night. The most fascinating thing about it is that it is never spoken of. \u201cMorning comes and I never speak a word about it,\u201d says \u2018thermostat sneak attack\u2019 victim Wendi Reynolds. \u201cIt\u2019s \u2018good morning, honey, how did you sleep?\u2019 Neither of us ever admitting to the other that we know of their late night undercover antics.\u201d Some people are considering escalating these silent wars. \u201cI\u2019m looking into getting an app which will allow me to control it from my phone,\u201d said resident Steve Ayala. \u201cThe best part is I could lock her out of it. She wouldn\u2019t even know where to start.\u201d As technology continues to advance, and precision temperature control devices are built, there is a chance wars could escalate to the uncomfortable area of conversation. \u201cObviously, that is the last place any of us want these wars to go,\u201d said Hickey. \u201cTalking about it, or really anything, could blow our relationship apart. It\u2019s mutual assured destruction.\u201d Many couples will continue to just use guerrilla warfare tactics waiting for cool fall days, windows open, known as \u2018d\u00e9tente season.\u2019 \u201cI look forward to openly discussing keeping the windows open or closing the windows,\u201d said Reynolds. \u201cThis sneaking around is really hard on my conscience. Obviously, just talking about the thermostat stuff. Nothing else.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7060","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-149","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7060"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7939,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7060\/revisions\/7939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
