I adore this Helix; if I were a themostat, I'd marry it!
This leads me to say though, that I am glad the BP egg season is in the spring/summer. We have very frequent outages in the winter in this rural area; gladly though, we are installing a gas wall heater that is good with or without electricity, so at least the snakes will be warm if it does go out. A fair-weather outage is rare; there was an electrical storm. Bu the room it's in is never going below 81 degrees this time of year; I am sure that for a few seconds of being out, there's no harm done.
You'd think we have a generator? We do.. it is in Mark's big U-haul that he takes to jobsites.. a lot of good it does me there!
