Peri using the air conditioner in her hotel room... she'd freeze in December in DC. According to http://weather.dcpages.com , the low the night of December 23, 1981, was 41 degrees... she MIGHT have left the air conditioner running, but boy, would she be, uh, nipply in the morning...
On page 18, it's mentioned that Bob buys two two-gallon bottles of milk. Milk is sold in one-gallon jugs.
And the third one turns out to be a mistake on my part; I mistakenly thought the story was taking place in 1980, which would have made it difficult for Monday to have a Ford Escort, since it wasn't introduced until 1981 in North America.
I'm only into Chapter 20: Two, but I certainly have a great respect for how well you're juggling an Australian journalist in an American setting for a British book...
