The heat you come home to

I had a strange re-entry experience yesterday. As I turned off the shower, I heard a rumbling sound coming from the basement. I stepped out of the tub and felt a draft of warm air blowing out of the vent. Central heating! Something I haven't experienced for over two years. Of course, I found it to be a mixed blessing, as it reminded me that we needed central heating. Apparently I adapted to the Yunnan climate real well, as I find myself irked that I need to wear a jacket in September. I wonder if I would be reacting the same way if I was back in my native Chicago?
