My brother, retired in Bemidji from the Houston heat, has a nice country place with a large fireplace and lots of wood nearby. I am always impressed by his large honkin' propane gas tank, filled up once a year in the late summer.


I had a 500 gallon tank when I lived in Duluth. The nice thing is, the price of propane fluctuates, and you can buy it when its cheap. If you own the tank (many are owned by the gas co.) you can dump your supplier and find a cheaper one if you want to. One tank usually lasted me all winter.

Besides, if you believe the scientific theory presented in the movie "Day After Tomorrow" it doesn't matter anyway. All of us north of the Mason-Dixon line are doomed to an instant frosty death when the climate changes.

Might as well party on until Jack Frost takes us down!
