I’m full of rants today, I guess. My latest peeve is our thermostat setting. I understand that everything is going up in cost, but do we seriously need to set the thermostat at 62F? I haven’t been warm in so long I can’t remember what it feels like. I spend most of my time at home huddled in my office with the space heater so close to my feet I fear my socks will burst into flame, but my nose is still colder than a dog’s. I offered to pay more per month so I could turn it up, and was told in no uncertain terms that is not an option. I don’t get it. So, shivering, I give you this evening’s selection of reviews…
