Flipped The Switch

I've tried holding off as long as possible, but this year I had to flip the switch a bit early. The switch I'm talking about is the thermostat where I turned it from "off" to "heat". You could say it's been a bit chilly in the house in the mornings the past week or so, but this morning it was down to 64 degrees which is a tad brisk, even for me - the heat miser. So the switch got flipped this morning, and as I type, it's a toasty 70 degrees. It looks like the sun will shine all day and heat the place up for free so the heat doesn't have to work too hard. Hopefully it'll be a very sunny winter, because we need all the help we can get. It's getting mighty expensive to live in America, eh?
