Jumping 20 Feet, into nothing.

This summer, I went with my Ukranian Scouts Group to Algonquin park for the 49th anniversary. Point is, on the fifth day of the two-week camp, we went on a three day canoe trip away from our "base camp".
Where I'm going with all of this is the following; when we got to a first end of a lake, and were about to enter an interesting canal, we stopped for awhile to wait for the girls to catch up to our group.
There, we found a bridge [overlooking water] that we all jumped off of. Twenty feet. Into water, off a bridge. About one story high. Not bad, I think.
At first, when we jumped, we thought, "I'mgonnadie, I'mgonnadie! wahoo!!". I don't recommend jumping, but it is a once in a lifetime experience. I mean, I hope I do it again, and that I survive, but all the same.
For a final note, at the end, when we left, after the girls had already began their jumps, a guy and girl got chased out of the water by a snapping turtle, and we stopped.

Nobody temperatures

I'm not sure why I'm writing this one down, but there you go... In any case, my story is this:

I have a temperature monitor in my house, with an exterior sensor. Everyday, I add a two new temperatures: that of the morning inside, and out, and that of the evening, inside and out. Every so-often, I write them into an Excel document. Every time there is at least one mini meter of rainfall, I write it down. I haven't for the last few months written down either of these measurements into Excel, so I'll have to during the summer break.
In any case, my point is that there are certain temperatures that I refer to as "no-body temperatures". These are mild temperatures during the winter, and also mild ones during the summer. Their range is 2ºC to 15ºC, arguably. Your mom phones you to wear a jacket when these temperatures are present during the summer, while during the winter, she calls you up to tell you to remember to wear a lighter jacket.
