This is a great bit of humor, Anita! I thoroughly enjoyed the tale. Brought back many memories of furnaces, and basements too!Anitazz wrote: ↑November 26th, 2019, 12:16 pm I've uploaded a selection. Seems that furnaces, at least their "personalities", haven't changed much in 100 years!
The Furnace by H. C. Bunner (1855 - 1896)

Here's my second contribution for volume 071. 74 minutes being the standard recording length for a CD, 74 minutes is also the maximum allowable length of a recording for the snf. This one clocks in at 73 1/2 minutes... Long recordings can always be broken into two parts if they run over 74 minutes.

It is said Villa legally married 75 times
Sad ending to a good story.In 1920, Villa made an agreement with the Mexican government to retire from hostilities, following the ouster and death of Carranza, and was given a hacienda near Parral, Chihuahua, which he turned into a "military colony" for his former soldiers. In 1923, as presidential elections approached, he re-involved himself in Mexican politics. Shortly thereafter he was assassinated.
