Easy trip from RVA to Baltimore this evening thanks to light traffic while driving during holiday / Saturday dinner time. 8yo nephew is soundly asleep, cookies and carrots have been nibbled on, and gifts are placed under the tree. Looking forward to tomorrow morning!!!

Thermocline is the temperature gradient it's dependent upon the house insulation (in this context)

If you've got a really well insulated house with pipes that aren't in the outside walls 55 will be fine. If you've got an old Richmond house with pipes in the outside walls 55 at the thermostat might mean 20 at the pipe in fact frequently does

I do this every time I go out of town. Winter, for obvious reasons. But last July my hot water heater burst and the shutoff valve malfunctioned. I was thankfully in the basement at the time and caught it, but so much water so quickly. I couldn’t imagine if I had been gone for the weekend.

The discovery of human remains was another incident where the friends of east end used a tragedy to exploit circumstances in their favor. Enrichmond staff discovered exposed human remains at the cemetery - a cemetery that had been neglected for years.

Sadly, there had been years of rain and erosion in the area and no one to care for the land or mitigate the land disturbances. Enrichmond became the steward and started clearing the overgrown weeds when they discovered exposed remains. It was reported in local news and the friends of east end decried desecration on the part of Enrichmond staff.
