47% of American homes are heated with natural gas, 40% electricity (resistance + heat pumps), and about 5% each with propone and oil.
The map matches my experience, Oil in Boston, Electricity in Northern VA, and Oil in South eastern VA. It looks like there might be a small bit of purple near this neighborhood.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The average cat’s reaction time is approximately 20-70 milliseconds, which is faster than the average snake’s reaction time, 44-70 milliseconds.
As opposed to the average middle aged white guy’s reaction time, which is 5-7 seconds.

Mrs. George and I had a similar conversation a few years ago - we were talking about a musical that we saw, and I said, "I wonder if it gets boring doing the same show, night after night for six weeks...."

I was active in theater in my yoot. The thing is, it isn't the same. It's always different because little things happen Monday that don't happen Tuesday. The audience applauds a line on Monday and on Tuesday, the same line lies dead. Actors forget lines and their colleagues have to adlib them back. Singing is spectacular one night and dullsville the next.
Never the same.
And the closing applause never gets old.

It's hard to imagine that playing music every day could ever be as enjoyable as what I've been doing for the past 34 years.
Every day the lunch menu is a little different!
And the sound of Windows starting up never gets old.
