Of course I realize you desire to keep the heat in the winter.I used to live in texas where you get a lot of heat in the summer.around the dfw area.I am now moving to a colder climate so I have to update my focus on these things.I am also looking into dowsing as a way to make the rest of my life more interesting.triffid
I've heard that not everyone can dowse effectively, but I did see a demonstration years ago on TV.

I also lived in Houston for about 3 1/2 yrs.  My sinuses bothered me occasionally, then.

BTW,
Greece continues to borrow more and more.  Financial analysts are questioning this ongoing action in view of lack of fiscal constraint in the Greek economy.  If the Greek Gov't does anything in monetary conservatism, the Greek people will probably riot.  Again.

That lets me out, too, like triffid, for a different reason:  I went outside in Tucson in January, with the temps in the 40's, with local residents shivering badly in their Alaskan parkas, with, say, 2-3 T-shirts and a single pair of blue jeans on, and not be terribly uncomfortable.  People ask, "You're not cold?" (I'm still in my late 50's at the time.)
"No", I say, "I'm Scandinavian."
They give a wry "Now-you-tell-me-" look after that.
My point is:  The toughest and most adaptable will have a better chance to survive when the economy collapses.

@triffid
Speaking of oil, average the price of gas may have made nationally, permanently and eventually inflationary price increases to the point that most people cannot drive.

And the typical man on the street thinks the economy is improving? Sure.  Fat chance against.

There's a couple of other things as well:
A) The Consumer Price Index is edging upward.  Some Wall Street insiders are worried that inflation---widely predicted to eventually rise---is starting to do so.  That could scare a lot of people and stall "The Recovery".
B) Illinois can become the new Greece.  They owe a lot of former State employees a lot of future money in retirement benefits they cannot afford to pay.  To mitigate that problem, Illinois is raising taxes.  This'll anger just about everyone, and, corporate business is predicted to leave the state en masse.  Illinois may slide into a Depression, and surrounding states as bad off financially will follow on a slippery slope.

Right.
Haiti, China, Pakistan, (possibly) Australia, etc. will be needing more and more food imports.

And there will be food riots.
Probably in 3rd World countries first.  That wouldn't surprise me at all.

I used to live in Tucson before I came to San Francisco.  Everyone in Tucson has heard of Gabby Giffords.  But, I also know 30%+ own guns in AZ.  Anyone who wants to take those guns from their owners would face resistance.

Yeah, good idea,  I can put plants in my windows, but the landlord might object.  I think my lease forbids it.  But, it's still a good idea to do.

if you can hunt, fish, build, plant and harvest there is nothing to be worried about. if you cannot do all of the above you got the wrong education...

I saw an advertisement for a fire starter that used a magnesium rod and a knife-like affair to shave off slivers of the rod into a small pile.  Then, take the "knife" and hit the side of the rod hard to make sparks to set off the shavings.  The blazing! heat is more than enough to start wet wood.

I don't know if it sold well enough to continue production.  This happen years ago.
