Electricity Bill -- For The Archives -- March 29, 2024

Locator: 46864ARCHIVES.

Electricity bill: this is our sole energy cost (other than gasoline for the cars) for our carbon dioxide emission footprint -- we have only electricity, no natural gas or anything else. Our electricity is almost 100% wind, solar according to the utility. 

Our stated rate: 466 kWh @ $0.155499/kWh. The additional charge, 2.0% sales tax and a strange tax I don't understand, $1.84 and $1.80, respectively. 

$2.35 / day -- less than the cost of a visit to a local Starbucks, something I haven't done in months, probably coming up on seven months now?

The Premonition: A Pandemic Story: Michael Lewis, c. 2021.

I might make it a requirement: to access the blog one must have this book in your personal library.

I could require a password to access the blog and the password would be the "nth" word on the "nth" page of the book and the password would change weekly.

The book is that good.

I've read the first chapter and the first half of the second chapter. I have no idea where Michael Lewis is going with this but it is absolutely fascinating. 

But no, I won't require a password to access the blog. LOL.

I don't read books like these, as a rule, and to the best of knowledge, I've never read any of the twelve books or so that Michale Lewis has already written, including Moneyball
