What are the chances that one person has 2 thermometers die on the same day? One is a dial grill thermometer that is stuck on 400, and the other is a digital remote weather station that is stuck on 44. The grill is off and it is 24 outside.

I mean, like, what the hell? That’s kinda weird, right? At least the furnace thermostat works; it’s just too bad that the furnace is broken and we are waiting to have a new one installed…
