Yeah...about that heater. Here in central New Hampshire where Fall has
clutched our throats with fingers of ice, I still have the top down despite
that I have to wear a fleece sweater, windbreaker, coat, gloves, and a
49'ers (from the Joe Cool days) wool baseball cap under the windbreaker's
hood. People ask why I don't just put the top up, and I try to lay out my
"box" theory: that is, we live in boxes, eat/sleep/rest in boxes, leave our
box to drive to work in a box with wheels, get out of that box and enter a
box where we work...etc. ad naseum. In winter, we hurry through freezing
wind gusts from one box to another. I'm not anxious to close the lid on the
one box that can go topless. Winter lasts too long to start it any earlier
than I have to.
Ah, but to the point. Randall, on these cold mornings, I understand the
term "optional heater" better, because it's really optional to turn it on,
given that it is not quite a furnace is it?
