So the parade of salesmen has begun. \u00a0First up was Reliant heat and cooling. \u00a0They sent out a really good guy. \u00a0Told us what would fit, how much it would cost. \u00a0Very reasonable price. \u00a0Good furnace. \u00a0If I hadn’t had the others scheduled, I would have bought this one. \u00a0Still, we’ll hear the others out, too. \u00a0You never know.<\/p>\n
This furnace runs at 95% efficiency. \u00a0As opposed to our current 80%. \u00a0Think about a difference of 15% less gas used. \u00a0Then multiply it by hundreds and thousands of homes. \u00a0Hard to believe. \u00a0Of all the strategies to combat global warming, the easiest and most immediate ones involve conservation. \u00a0More fuel efficient cars, furnaces. \u00a0Better insulation in homes. \u00a0Switching from coal-burning electricity generation. \u00a0Having cleaning crews in large buildings clean during the day. \u00a0Strategies that have broad application yet involve relatively straightforward choices and proven technologies.<\/p>\n
Finally wrenched myself away from the image moving to work on the Edda’s some more. \u00a0Brunhild today. \u00a0A sad story. \u00a0Sigurd jumped into that burning ring of fire, but boy it really didn’t work out for him or Brunhild.<\/p>\n
Also back to my one sentence of Latin. \u00a0Again, it seemed to flow today. \u00a0Based on past experience I’ll hit an impossible head-slapper tomorrow, but today. \u00a0All right.<\/p>\n
I’m in my second week of rest for my patella-femoral syndrome. \u00a0I’ll start back on the workouts on Monday. \u00a0I’ll see how, or whether, this helped.<\/p>\n
Been watching House of Cards on Netflix. \u00a0As the brave new face of television, I like it. \u00a013 episodes up all at once. \u00a0We can watch it as we like it. \u00a0Cool.<\/p>\n
