I live in South Central Pennsylvania here in the United States. It is getting cold, yet have not yet turned on the heat except in the bathroom. When it gets a bit chilly in my apartment, I just put on an heavy robe.

I am fortunate. I have an apartment on both sides of mine as well as an apartment underneath me. I just enjoy the ambient heat.

There is a method to my madness in leasing my current apartment! Let others pay those huge electric bills!
