Replying to a message of Richard Webb to Roger Nelson:

 BA>> Dunno what I'm going to do next winter.

 RN>> Pray the price comes down or look for an alternate heating source.  
 RW> Lots of folks I know around the midwest have bought those corn burning

A scoop?  I'm told that a bushel of corn (56 lbs) will heat a house for about
24 hours, but not a scoop.  Note that right now that's about $6, times 120
days is $720.  And that price is going up, too.

The way to go is an underground house; no drafts, with good insulation and at
least five feet of dirt on top the heating and cooling costs are nil.
