Furnace, Part 2

The new furnace, air conditioner and water heater are in. Not sure if I will get used to having the vent pipe being made of PVC. The air conditioner will have to recharged in the spring since it's barely above freezing and they like the temperature to be at least 70 degrees when they recharge it.

One of the men installing the new furnace also installed the original one in 1978. He's now retired and works part time for Lower, Inc., the company who installed both the original and the replacement.

Laura is teaching her last classes today. It is getting close to time to leave. Been reading on Myanmar and the more I read the more interesting it sounds. Finding lots of interesting places to go to in a country that's been off the tourist map, and is still off the ATM map. Myanmar has a two price policy where tourists pay more than locals for entrance fees, the train and whatever. There, the "Tourist Tax" is institutionalized by the government. So, it's not the locals trying to overcharge you, it's the government.
