We are on the cusp of fall right now, which is my favorite time of year, when Summer rolls around and acts like it is never going to end, I always wonder to myself, “Why do I live in the south?” But then, fall eventually arrives, as it did this afternoon, and the temperature control to the air conditioner can be switched off for a little while; This makes me certainly cheerful, however my $250 heating and cooling bill can end for at least 1 week, and this makes me cheerful. I can breathe air that is created by God, not by my Heating & Air Conditioning system. Thankfully, I live in a relatively safe town, and I can sleep with my living room window open instead of under an air conditioner air vent blowing artificially cooled air onto my bed. In about more than one weeks, though, both of us will start to see some Winter time weather! Granted, it is not Winter time like they have up north, however it is Winter time for us. There will be many weeks worth of nights where I will have to turn on the heater. I don’t mind bundling up in longjohns and sleeping under a few blankets. In fact, I would willingly do so if it meant not having to turn on the heating system at all. I have to, though, because it gets freezing enough to freeze water, and there is the danger of burst pipes! Periodically, I choose to use portable heaters, thinking it must be cheaper. I don’t feel if it is or not, however 1 thing I do know. If I, or anyone else, uses portable heaters, they need to use caution.
