And if you turn on the heat, which in most places isn’t central heating, but heaters – sometimes floor space heaters, sometimes heaters attached to the wall that sometimes function as air conditioners in the summer – the room heats up while the heater is on, but it doesn’t stay warm. You can’t get a base temperature – in many houses – that’s warm.

The Museum of Science and Industry was built on a large plot of land next to Lake Michigan. Its Beaux Arts style architecture holds it strong and memorable by the shore, and at least as much so in my mind.
HOW LONG CAN YOU WAIT TO BECOME GREAT?
Did you hear the story about the dog and the elephant who became pregnant on the same day? Three months later, the dog gave birth to six adorable puppies. When those puppies were three months old, the dog became pregnant for a second time, and three months after that, she gave birth again.
