Even with mother nature and her temperature swings we've had some warm weather this fall. I'm trying to soak in each unseasonably warm day because I know they will soon be a distant memory as the cold bitter sting of winter settles in.

Working in such a drafty old building, naturally I've got a cache of blankets and emergency sweaters at work and I've always got my trusty office space heater by my side!

I know there are many like myself across Michigan who tend to run a bit chillier this time of year. If you've recently purchased a space heater for yourself authorities are asking you to check and make it sure it wasn't one of the brands recently recalled nationwide.
