I understand the east coast is going to look like that again soon, Grandpa. Supposed to get down to 0 in New York. And here for the next 10 days we're breaking records with our 70+ days and 50 nights.

I don't take calls from my oldest brother this time of year for the exact reason…sort-of. They live outside of Anchorage, Alaska and he works a 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off schedule up on the northeast slope. He can't seem to help himself from letting me know things like, "today we got up to a high of -30°f, what was your low last night?" He does this just to poke fun at me. Then he tells me all about the barn door sized halibut he brought in or the moose from dinner. And he's not just pulling my leg. When I was at his place one summer, all we ate were wild game animals.
He laughs at me saying the low was 40°f or so.

Hello!
I need help. We were getting ready to hook up our oil filled heater to the 1000 watt Zilla thermostat but the heater is 3 prong.
I had no idea! Do you have any recommendations for another thermostat?

Good morning, all!

I would love to be able to see the night sky. There are too many trees around my property to get a good view. My question is, "Since the earth is spinning, and the "sky" is stationary, why do I usually see the same stars in my little speck of sky each night?" Seems like if the earth spins, I'd see other groups of stars. No?

I love getting to see stars at night from any point in my yard or neighborhood. Most of the drive to and from work (if at the right times) is open for star gazing too.
