Opposing camps

posted in media, travel |

In life we are trained to “ask the experts”. What to do when the experts adopt opposing camps of opinion? My problem, succinctly. Big money decision with fuzzy information.

My geothermal project involves transferring thermal energy from outside to inside ( and back again). One expert assures me that radiant ( in-floor) heating is the way to go. The other, as strongly, believes in forced air. I can go either way, right now. I can’t afford to revert, should my choice of technology prove unsound. Wearing a coat and Phentex booties? No thanks.

Time to flip a coin? I hope not. Rather, I need a third impartial expert to swing the vote. Google, without the “noise”. Maybe I’ll use the classic game show gambit and “ask a friend”.

This was another day of watching the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees; a classic way to say “we did nothing and stayed in camp”. Some laundry, an extension to our stay, and then a quick supper before an evening at the theatre. Not cinema. Theatre, with a play, a program, a cast of local youth and elders, props, flys, ice cream and strawberries. The complete package, in the easternmost venue in the province. Big project for such a young cast. I’m glad we attended.

Of course, the dog didn’t (couldn’t). When we returned to the car kennel, he had slipped his harness and braided the whole thing (seatbelt, leash, harness) into a hopeless knot. I freed him, under cover of darkness, and called it a night.
