1. something i was thinking about after receiving my last gas bill...
my bill says that the last billing cycle was 8 degrees warmer than the same cycle last year.
this year i have plastic on the older windows of the house that are kind of drafty.
last year i did not.

The bill shows i'm using way less gas than last year, but the bill was 20% more than last year's.

so, although the warm winter has me wondering *why?*, i'm thinking what the bill could have been if the temperature were more typical for winter in New England.

:scared:

4. We are having thunderstorms in Mississippi today....
It's been a very mild winter, even by Mississippi standards. I really hope that this cold front that's coming is cold. Except that heating my home is costing a fortune.

5. And as a Minnesotan, you know we're waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Can't be pleasure without pain, after all...

Three years ago was the coldest I've ever been walking between classes EVER. For the first thirty minutes of lecture my phalanges just ached.

7. You're speaking of the weather?
I thought maybe you'd hit a streak of good luck. You know.....with the ladies.
