Otherwise good advice. We try to keep the thermostat as low as possible...sometimes my home office will fall into the 50's and my fingers turn blue. I then know it's ok to turn it up to 60

i use just enough gas to climb the hill then i let gravity
help out .....so the engine is running much slower
and i have longer brake life........ not rushing around.

Spence,
i kind of like the Chinese method of heating the table
with the wok in the center of it and the table cloth hanging down
so the people sitting at the table are warmed by the cooking heat.

i try to apply that principle or method in any situation
" if possible "

striving to heat up the person rather than the whole room.
