The other night I opened the door to the first floor hallway and was mystified to see what appeared to be a fog floating through the air. I called a frend and we discussed possible causes. Finally she asked me, "Do you think it could it be your furnace filter?" I sat there for a minute and thought, "furnace filter... what's a furnace filter"? I mean really, it was like I was totally clued out. Back downstairs I checked the filter and confirmed that this was definitely the culprit. It was so dirty that it looked as though it had been in there since the beginning of time (or more precisely since October). The dust was actually being pushed back up out of the vents. It took less than 15 minutes to dash off to Canadian Tire and return with a new filter which I promptly installed.Now, I've lived in this house for twenty years and have changed a lot filters in that time. I can't explain how this monthly routine skipped my mind, nor am I sure what lesson I've learned from it all. I can only say this,
"if you're inside your house and you've got fog, you might actually be in one!"

Is that dangerous? It sounds like it would be. I put stuff like that on my calendar cos my short term memory is kaput.
Better not your memory be kaput. I got short memory too. It has become a habit putting up messages, on the fridge, my room's whiteboard, computer and my wife love it. Finding my messages has become her routine. Beside things to do, I shall write up poems, quotes or anything, and I shall paste it all over the house. On better days, I could hear her laughing her heart out whenever she finds my notes. It's music to my ears.
By the way, what's a furnace filter?
