Okay. I have a dilemma.
It is going to be the coldest day in five years tomorrow. The high will be something ridiculous F, and it's about 2 degrees above now. This would not be a problem if the heater in my apartment understood the "heater" principle. At the moment my thermostat is telling me that it is all of 54 degrees Farenheit in here.
So. Do I drink hot tea, or not?
On the plus side, hot tea will heat me up.
On the minus side, the tea will eventually wish to depart. And that seat is COLD!
Soooo, just how did our ancestors ever manage to keep from becoming permanent fixtures in those unheated privies each winter?
Enquiring minds want to know!
