The Heat Is....(sigh) On

10/7/12

I compare it to seeing how far you can continue to drive a car once the "Low Fuel" light illuminates.  In this case, once the thermostat in my condo dipped to 62 degrees yesterday evening, I knew that I couldn't hold out any longer.  It was time to flip the switch.  My furnace roared to life and the temperature slowly returned to tolerable allowing me to remove my indoor fleece jacket.  Then came that odd scent that the furnace emits after sitting idle for months.  The reality that winter is near was no longer deniable.  Both stunk up the place.
