Mr Gore, where’s my Global Warming?
It’s the 17th of September, still summertime, and I had to scrape my windshield before coming to work this morning! Where’s that !@#$%^& global warming I was promised?

I had to power up the furnaces.

I just read on an Internet site that the Founders of Google.com have two Gulfstreams AND their own Boeing 767.
Wonder what their carbon footpring looks like?

It’s supposed to be over 90 for the next several days…*sigh*

NK: I thought that you lived in Virginia; why do you need to power up the furnaces (you have more than one?) in the Confederacy?
I turned on the heater last night, but since I use the boiler for our hot water as well, it is used year round.

Well, Sharon, you live in our great President’s home state, so it isn’t terribly surprising that it’s still in the 90s. It never made it out of the sixties all weekend here — which wasn’t too bad for reflooring the front porch. But it was 38º outside this morning at my house, and a couple of places a bit higher up were very near freezing.

If it gets any colder I may have to start burning some of those environmental indulgences that Algore has been marketing with the same sort of hustle as a Renaissance Pope…. If only someone would give me some.

Dana #4,
XRLQ lives in Virginia. I live in Illinois. Sigh.
As for the two furnaces, I have a 77-79 year-old house and when they installed forced air about 16 years ago they put one in the basement for the basement and first floor and one in the attic for the second floor in order to avoid running ductwork through the whole house.

Ouch, two furnaces to maintain. My apologies; I knew that Jeff lived in the Confederacy, but I thought that you did as well. It could be that senile dementia is setting in early.
My house is somewhere between 95 and 115 years old: I’ve had construction dates of 1892, 1902 and 1912 told to me, and I have no way of knowing which (if any) are true. I suppose I could go dig through courthouse records if I were really that interested . . . .
At any rate, I have steam radiators that were retrofitted into the house, and part of the work that I have yet to do involves concealing the pipes.
