“TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE:” Music Video As History Lesson.
ANN ALTHOUSE ON YALE AND THERMOSTATS. “If you actually thought cutting carbon emissions was important, your thermostats would already be at 62° or lower.” As I recall, whatever the numbers say Yale thermostats actually have only two settings: TOO HOT and TOO COLD.

The city has been trying — unsuccessfully — to collect payment, Ken Crutcher, the city’s director of office of budget and management told aldermen recently.” (Via the Quincy News).
