Cold house

It's been cold and rainy. I spent a couple of hours hiding under blankets today wondering why the house was so chilly. We have a nice heater that generally keeps most of the house at a pleasant temperature, but for some reason, the heater wasn't kicking on. Then I remembered that our smaller daughter was recently turning something behind the heater. I checked behind the heater and realized she had turned the dial from "on" to "pilot". Once I fixed that, the heater came on promptly and now the inside temperature is rather cozy again. I love living in a modern society with natural gas available at affordable prices.
