Yesterday it was warm enough that students were walking around campus in shorts (I think that was pushing it a tad bit). And today I woke up to snow. Pointless post so I am changing it.
I am so content in the middle of ResearchTheLineups season. Great bands. Happy ears. Life is good.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I ALSO had dreams that involved Inforoosters!!! And other people who think they are roosters. However I did NOT wake up feeling great - margaritas no bueno before bedtimes. Should have stuck with the brews.

So a student comes in this morning to take a make-up exam...and proceeds to tell me (in excruciating detail) why she missed the test in the first place. I now know enough about her dog's intestinal issues that I should be given an honorary D.V.M. degree... (WTF? Why can't students just say, "Something came up" without elaborating? Ugh!)
At least KEXP is playing awesome tunes while I work: started off w/The Beatles "A Day in the Life" then Radiohead, Porcelain Raft, and New Order. And a week from today, I'll be on Cloud 9, basking in the afterglow of my 1st Radiohead show. Sweeeeeeet!!!
Today is one of the greatest days ever. I got my other favorite festival line-up AND finally got my Financial Aid. This means, even though it's damn near 80 degrees, I can get oil for the house.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I just finished my schoolwork for the week.
Will you explain this concept of getting oil for your house? I've heard this mentioned before... when I was little, we had a book about different kinds of trucks, and there was an oil truck that would bring oil to your house.
I am so obviously a Southerner I don't even know what all of this oil would do? Where is it stored? Will someone draw me a diagram??

^^ What Dave said. Most of the houses in Richmond are pre-1950 homes and don't have electric heat. We use oil to heat homes here. When the price of gas goes up .. so does oil. I pay about $1200-$1600 a winter pending on oil prices.
Looks like this but outside.

Hmm, that's interesting/weird. We have gas heat. I have no idea how that works, except we don't do a damn thing other than turn it on and pay the gas bill every month.

jho, I think the difference is between heating oil and natural gas. The tank has heating oil and is pretty old school but is still in use. You have natural gas in your home.

Sorry for stating the obvious...I did not read the all of the conversation. I'll shut up now. ;D
Do they still have the trucks that bring you oil to your house?!!?
Yes. Most of the area I grew up in is still oil heating, since a lot of the houses are built around or before 1960. My apartment uses steam, my parent's house uses oil, and the job site I'm sitting in right now uses electric heat.
Oil heating is a pretty simple process. Oil is burned in a furnace to generate heat, and either one of two things happens: you use the hot air created, and have a fan blow the air into a plenum (which distributes the air to the different parts of your hours - uncommon in residential buildings because it requires ductwork), or it uses the heat generated to heat up water to boiling temps thus creating steam which is then dispersed through out your house in the form of those old-school iron radiators.

Trailers don't have garages, Chris.
*I'm not playing this Dave? Ave? Huh? game, because I knew you before calling you Dave was cool. Like my new curly moustache and fixed-speed bike? Of course you do. Let's go snort something and pose for the camera with some PBRs!
