I must remember to wake up more before I attempt to read the messages in the
morning.  The first time thru on this one I registered 'furnace' as a lady
friend you intend to marry.  After a couple CPU cycles and a shot of coffee,
rereading made sense.

In the early 80's Houston had one of those rare time when the temp was below
freezing for a week over the Xmas holidays.  The neighbor returned after NY
to find 3 feet of water in the house where the pipes in the attic had
thawed.  He did not have insurance to cover such as this.  ( This is my
melted water tale. )
