My heater

The heater in my apartment has always struck me as a bit odd. It is a gas flame in my living room with a big metal thing over it that acts as a radiator. Recently I noticed the same heater in two TV shows that are set in California. It made me feel better to see that my apartment building isn't the only one with that heating system. Except then I realized that in one show it is the heater in the dingy basement everyone in the show makes fun of. And in My Name is Earl it is the heater in Joy's mobile home. Well so much for that bit of comfort.
