Raised in a barn?
When I was growing up back in good ol' Frederick, I was always taught to shut the door behind me when I went out to play. The perfectly logical reasoning being that heating was expensive and we shouldn't let all that money out the door. I'm sure that most of you will agree with me. Apparently the ENTIRE nation of Italy didn't get this memo.
Over here, it is ludicrously expensive to heat a building. Gas prices over here are so high, there is a city wide regulation on how long you can heat your house. To combat this, Italians have taken to wearing sweaters indoors, something I've had to get used to. Also, Italians think it odd that we Americans can't handle a little cold in doors. Normally, I would agree but I don't think we are completely at fault. That little memo that the Italians missed is pretty obvious.
Just the other day, it was about 40 degrees out, not exactly a balmy spring day. During one of our midmorning breaks, I stepped out of the classroom for a brief change of scenery only to find that the hallway was a good 15 degrees colder than the room I had just come from. So I asked myself, "Self, why is it so cold out here?" I walked over to the door that goes to a set of outdoor stairs which, of course, was gaping open. So I again asked myself, "Self, does this door need to be left opened? Perhaps it locks automatically?" No. Nothing of the sort. It was just open, allowing all of that "precious" heat to escape right out the door, making the rest of the country approximately .0000000000000000000000000000000001 degrees warmer. We here at Villa Aurora like to do our part to support global warming.
Basically what it comes down to is this: WHY THE HECK DO ITALIANS LEAVE THEIR DOORS AND WINDOWS OPEN IN THE WINTER?????????? If someone knows the answer, I would love to be as enlightend as you.

Oh look whos talking mr. Ive-never shut-the-door-to-devins-room-when-i-leave....-ever
Yes the Italians have wierd stuff about heating, but given their tendancy to shut and look every door no matter what, I would venture a guess and say it was an American student that left it open because they're used to the automatically shutting doors that we have in civilized countries :P, perhaps that is problem with my door also? who knows!
So Brian, I have no answers. But I thought I'd let you know that this post was a source of great amusement to me and made me smile. I could almost hear you telling this as a story :D
Oh, and btw, as of late I have been a Frank Sinatra fiend... and would highly recommend that you listen to the words of "That's Amore" as they would make you laugh.
I laughed so hard. Cause I can totally see you doing this now that I know you. The thought came to mind is this really necessary for life. oh and I think you need to update your blog.. it looks as though it as been a while *smirks*
