A personal "Homer" moment

Actually this one might cover a whole episode of "The Simpsons."* [Oh come on, surely you can find that link without my help?]

I have been personally ranting here these last couple of days because I was sweltering and sweating sitting here in the house while the lousy heat pump system ran full time providing no relief.

I decided an hour ago that if it was not doing a damn** bit of good, I might as well save my electric bill and turn the system off. Well, I discovered that when I got up in the middle of the night three days ago, at the start of this spell of hot, humid weather, I had not turned on the cooling, as I had planned. I had only turned on the fan. So I have been sitting here for the past few days, sweltering and sweating, cussing the climate control system, when, in actuality, it was my own human error to blame.

*If this becomes the central story in any future episodes of "The Simpsons," please contact me for information on how to send my royalty payments.

**I used some much coarser language referring to my supposed inoperable climate control system these past few days.

Doh!
