    Corcoran Heating & Air Conditioning amazing! We had an issue with our furnace and while here, the technician notsomething might be wrong with our airconditioner. He xed our furnace and ehelped us with the air conditioner; a xwould have been much more expensive

    he not taken the time to investigate andus. Highly recommend!

    Steve . -

    Always prompt in coming in when we service.

    people: emaciated, starving, misera-ble people. Tese people had spoonsto eat with that were long enough toreach the shore they were on about12 eet away. Te trouble was, whilethey could scoop up the stew into thespoon, those were so long the stew elloff beore they could get it into theirmouths. So they continued to suffertheir hunger and misery.

    were smiling, happy and healthy look-ing. Why? asked the man. What isthe difference here?

    Te angel asked the man to look morecareully and observe that one personwould scoop up the stew and bring it
