That's probably why where I live is so dry most of the time. I'm sure you've heard of "The 1%"; here it's more like .1%. I got the set I use every day from a lady who was obviously well-to-do. She even tried to sell me a late-80s Trinitron console. My set was originally purchased to match a set of furniture and may be the only solid wood cabinet set I have.

I'm with you on that one. For me the worst thing about winter is hearing the complaints.
