At the beginning of winter, our furnace died. This required us to finance a new furnace and coil. We're still paying for it, and probably will be for years.
I predicted when it happened that we were creating a jalopy. We had a fifteen year old air conditioner attached to a brand spanking new furnace. I announced that the air conditioner would fail as soon as we turned it on.

There is an air conditioner in my truck. Maybe we can set out there this summer.
Why don't I get oracle vibes about the right lottery numbers, or even the Kentucky Derby?
