Meanwhile, in Moscow
 When the Soviets were still in charge, they commissioned these huge apartment complexes for Moscow and these got their heat from the district hot-water system. The controls were the windows. Here's an update, which is delightful in its descriptions. So much to do. So much to do. |

1973 revisited
 Ah, '73! The Lovely Marianne and I were married for just a year and found ourselves sitting on long lines at the gas station. Back then, I never thought there'd be a silver lining when it came to those days (I'm not talking about TLM here), but as it turns out, there was, as you'll see in this article. |

Big stuff
Did you know that we here in the U.S. have the largest solar-thermal plant on the planet, and that it even works in the dark? I didn't know either until I read this. I expect to see this place in the next James Bond flick. Near the end would be best I think.

Are you ready for some football?
 Son-in-law, Adam, is a Milwaukee man and proud Marquette graduate. He once explained to my grandchild that "Wisconsin is a magical land, filled with brats and beers." But I digress. Adam gave me a heads-up on this system that makes the grass grow greener at Lambeau Field, for which we should all be grateful. And aren't you glad you don't have to set up that rig? |

And not to be outdone
 Andrew, yet another son-in-law, sent me this story about an amazing building that looks good enough to eat. Andrew works at Discovery Channel and I'm trying to convince him that a reality show about a man who tries to teach his four daughters about old steam-heating systems would make for a wonderful Discovery show. Andrew? |

Lying Floridians
 This article cracked me up, mostly because of the reasons Floridians give when the temperature in the house suddenly changes. Delicious!
