...finally locating the missing space heater (in my garage) and discovering that it still works.
Footnote # 1: Yes, my apartment is heated. But it doesn't get through to my bedroom very well.
Footnote # 2: NEVER leave a space heater unattended, or leave one on while you sleep. They are for heating rooms you are present in, or warming them up before you go to bed. Personally, I turn them off and unplug them when I'm not in the room or asleep.
When I worked for the Red Cross, I did damage assessment on burned-down houses. The single most prevalent cause of house fires was unattended space heaters.
