Huh? +21C, as in 70 fahrenheit. Inside that is, the common temp for houses in Finland I believe is +25C. It's -23C outside atm (or -9 fahrenheit).

Aha! Indoors. Opps.

TBH, I like it a little cooler, about 15-18 C. I can't stand being too hot.

Neal must have gotten a new electric strip heater !

HOUSTON (Reuters) – Electricity usage in Texas rose Friday as arctic air covered most of the state, hitting another winter power record after setting one just the night before, according to initial data from the state grid operator.

I love wood burning stoves. I have a wood burning stove. However, I do not like cutting and stacking wood. So, my wood burning stove is run by natural gas and I have a remote to turn it on and off. Conspicuous consumption.

Chopping firewood is like the best way to get rid of aggression. I used to volunteer for it in the military just for fun.

Who the hell wants splinters When I was growing up I sure cut wood everyday and fed a wood burning stove. We would burn through a cord on any given winter. It did cut the oil bill by hundreds of dollars. The gas stove is nice. No fuss, no mess but there is no crackle and no wood smell that you and August speak of. That is a home type smell, a welcoming warm smell.

I must have gotten the wrong instruction manual. Mine do their nails, text, play on the computer or the Playstation 3. Most often watch the large screen HD TV and or sleep. Sometimes doing both at the same time.
