Well. The furnace was clean, after 12 years. It turns out that the reason we never had it cleaned before is that it's a self-contained, high-tech, new modern kind that we had installed for that very purpose . . . I just forgot. Anyway, it was due for an inspection. Furnace man says it's in the middle of its life but I do not see myself replacing it in ten years unless there's something wrong with it. Got a new washable filter and a new thermostat. And the filter for the cold air return is the only filter, so by washing that every month (theoretically: in practice, more like four times a year), I'm already doing the regular maintenance that the thing needs.

I have set the thermostat rather cool: I will keep checking in to see that it's not still too cold for the young man.

Of course the dog loved the furnace man to bits and kept racing around and barking.

on another front: tags. Am I the only one who uses them as a vey detailed index? I see other people hardly tagging their posts at all, and when they do tag them it's kind of general every time.
