[CAUT] Climate Control

[joel a. jones]

Paul,

I don't read if the heat is being turned down as well as being closed, 
but during the 80's
gas shortage and energy crisis I found that our HVAC supply line was on 
the same
one that supplied the Art Museum.    Somehow I was lucky as the powers 
that be were
easily sold on keeping the system on for paintings, but not very 
impressed with $2million
of pianos.

Just a shivering word of concern from the below zero frozen tundra.
