The weather turned icy and freezing this past Monday. We woke up on the coldest day and M noticed our furnace wasn't working. He put a call through to the repair people then started tinkering a bit and concluded that somehow the automatic scheduler on our thermostat had kicked in, even though we had it on permanent hold. So the heat came back on after he cleared out the scheduler. We have a gas fireplace in the basement that was our backup in case of emergency. Once the repair people knew we had heat we were put on the back of their repair list as there were people waiting who had no heat. It was simply a matter of calling them the next day to say the problem seemed to be fixed.
Here are a couple of interesting news articles I found:
Snail mail still popular for Christmas cards - Do you still mail your cards out? I do. My sister heard the Post Office is not as busy as usual this time of year. Hmm.
