…but it was only me.
I was cold so I turned up the furnace. Something that never happens… Never ever ever.
The firmament of the universe tilted slightly at the news of this unprecedented event.
Don’t be alarmed. It was only temporary.
The thermostat is now set back to 55 degrees where it belongs.
UPDATE:
Some folks seem to think 55 degrees is a bit low. Harrumph!
I can (and have) dispensed with the furnace altogether in the past. It started out because I was cheap and broke. It continued when it became a personal challenge and a thumb in the eye of all societal pressure to the contrary. (It was also the series of posts that grew my blog’s hit-counter from absolutely embarrassing to merely pathetic and started me on the tragic path of multi-part posts.)
