Block heaters! I guess because i'm from Winnipeg, I've had three people ask me this week if I could check under their hood and see if there is a block heater.

In Winnipeg, many, many parking lots, especially city owned or for large companies with many employees, have electrical outlets at each parking spot. This is so the block heater can get plugged in. For decades, visitors to Winnipeg in the summer might ask if there were a lot of electric cars in Winnipeg.

My preferred choice when living there was just to not turn off the car when it gets really cold. Go to a dinner party....leave the car running for 5 hours.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
