We’ve hit that time of the year again. The days, for the
most part, have been sunny and pleasant. Normally I wouldn’t complain about
that, but even with the blinds down, by three or four in the afternoon the top
floor of my house and the music studio with a large west-facing window have
become uncomfortably warm. So I turn on the air conditioning, or I open windows. Then
night falls and the air inside and out gets downright chilly. I usually
don’t notice until three or four in the morning, when I wake up with goosebumps
and chattering teeth. When we replaced our heater about a year ago, it came
with an impressively complicated new thermostat. You can program it for
different times of the day, so it knows when you’ll be awake, asleep, at home
and away. The one thing it can’t do is maintain the same temperature when the
weather is schizophrenic.
