Well here in California it is warm and that is good because they messed up the energy distribution here so bad I probably would go broke paying for the electricity to run a heater. I am hoping I can still afford to run my computer I will find out when the send me the first bill since the "problem".

No snow here (yet) in good ol' NC, but if we were getting precipitation it would definitely be of the frozen variety...

My thermostat is screaming at 75 degrees and I still have to keep my feet wrapped in a blanket. I'm getting a little tired of all this winter business myself.

I just received my Indiana Gas bill. They had been warning us that the natural gas supply was tight and that bills may be 40-60% higher. They lied. My bill was something on the order of 110% higher. I was not pleased.

Being disembodied the cold doesn't effect me much, but my wife likes it warm. I keep a small spritzer bottle of water near my optical for visitors to use on their hair, wouldn't due for them to burst into flames while visiting. Did I mention my wife likes to keep it warm?

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

We had more snow in December in Des Moines than we did all Last year. The temps have been single digits to below zero. Good 'ole midwest, yadda yadda yadda yadda. Could be worse....

My gas bill was like 40 yuan, that's around 3 dollars. I'd say that's ONE good reason to have communism among a million others that suck.

Beijing is freezing though. -12 degrees, I have a cold right now.

oh man, capitalism is so great: my gas bill is free! on the other hand, I pay over 1700 US dollars for a one bedroom apartment, and the power companies in nor-cal are getting ready to tripple our rates just like they did in so-cal. umm, go capitalism?
