the navel times and observer

So I realize that living in an apartment well insulated by other apartments above, below and behind me in two directions was fantastic in the winter when I never had to touch the heater regardless of how much ice was covering the trees outside, but really bites even when the temperature's in the 60s.

I've got the stupid thermostat set at 80 and it runs almost constantly. I mean in Joplin my landlord had the thermostats restricted to only 82 degrees, but I had 3 exterior walls and remained perfectly comfortable.
