Distant Early Warning radar

Our home heating oil dealer has set the "cap" program price for #2 oil at a maximum of $4.89.9 per gallon.  This is rather over a buck a gallon more than last year.  To put this in perspective, we burned a little under 1300 gallons of oil last winter.  Degree-day stats say that was close to an average Maine winter.

Lotta people going to be burning wood next winter, people who don't have a clue about how to do it safely.  I can see our Fire Marshal people wincing already.

Don't have to wait. Maine usually has several CO-poisoning deaths each winter.
