Keithlys don’t fare well with cold things. They enjoy heat, and lots of it. The most obvious demonstration of this is the fact that they live in hot places and avoid in cold places. The Keithlys once left their home in the desert of Victorville, California to move to Utah Valley. As it was summer at the time of the move, the Keithlys did well for a time and lived in joy and peace. However, when the winter came with its frost and snow, the Keithlys would have none of it. Four years later in their favorite (and hottest) month of the year, they moved back to Sunny SoCal where the majority have resided ever since.
There have been a a few exceptions. The oldest Keithly child decided to leave the comfort and warmth of his home to reside in one of the colder parts of Russia for two years. When he returned, he vowed never to move to a cold place again. He is still thawing out. The next two Keithly sons decided to not repeat the mistake of their older brother, and when they left for their two-year ventures, they resided in Brazil and Mexico – much more Keithly-appropriate climates. When the younger returned, he missed the heat so much that he eventually moved to one of the hottest states in the country: Arizona. This same Keithly boy is likely the one who likes it HOTTEST. He once even made his mother purchase HOT salsa instead of mild/medium. He is the only one known to have reached the Keithly heat tolerance, for the day he ate the jar, he turned bright red and sweated buckets. To cool himself down he wore a lava-lava for 2 months straight.
The eldest Keithly girl decided to try her luck back in the cold state of Utah during her young adult years, and it is well remembered that she would call home every January, vowing to leave and never return to the snow. The only reason she is able to survive the cold winters of Kansas is because she changed her last name. Also note that the Keithly girls were always ridiculed by other clan members if they tried to wear "cooler" clothing that the Keithlys considered to not warm them up enough. Chief Keithly has the least tolerance to coldness and the lack of sunshine. He has been promising in-laws for decades that he would visit them in Maine, and even though it would be during the summer he always finds an excuse to cancel the trip--most recently the oil shortage of 2008. He even invested in a special light to warm his body and spirit during the cold winter months in Southern California, and still uses it regularly during the months of January and February. If hedoes not use it, he is well reminded by other clan members to stop griping and turn on his light. He has also been wearing the same thermal blue robe since 1972.
