One for my energy efficiency nerds. It’s 40F outside. The heat has not run at all this morning and it’s now 70F in here. Is it also PAINFULLY bright in here? Yeah. But that passive solar…

National Grid keeps raising electricity rates in MA. Meanwhile a relative’s assisted living facility has been without power for six hours and no crew has been assigned. Everyone just sitting in the dark except for emergency lighting while the temperature drops.

Mina, who hates climbing onto people’s laps, looks like a dog who has never known love when Tilly clambers onto my chair. She pulls this like a day after she, the world’s pickiest eater, shotgunned a bunch of lily of the valley and needed an 800 dollar overnight ER stay.
