Perhaps a litte (PG-ish) non-worksafe, but only if you're especialy paranoid.

anyone mention Coalinga yet?
I thought about mentioning COWalinga, I really did. But then I also thought of the paper plant in Antioch, and the meat packing plant where I grew up, and seized up.
dang, paper plants must REALLY stink.

More than you could ever believe, especially given that cut wood smells pretty good.
Does anyone know anything about electricity usage? I haven't paid gas and electric since 1995, so I can't remember what is normal.
Last month (October) my electricity usage went from 168 and 184 in the months previous to 559kwh. Is that a lot for a one bedroom apartment with a gas hot water heater, electric stove and gas heat. I have one small tv, and 2 computers. I often fall asleep with the tv on, but I did that in August, September and October too.
Also, is 7 therms of gas "normal" for just a hot water heater on?

Sure, until it dies.

I think that would only be normal if you had electric heat, or did a heck of a lot of baking.
Is your electric meter strictly for your apartment, or is it possible it's measuring other circuits, like the basement? (At my old apartment, the basement and exterior lights went through my circuit panel, so I paid for them. Since I made far more use of the basement, it was fair.)
Also, sometimes utilities estimate bills between visits, and they may have underestimated the last two months (or overestimated this month, but that seems less likely).
Why would someone eat a limburger cheese sandwich?
Don't ask me. This is the man who's too picky to try Chinese or Japanese food when I'm ordering take-out. Though I suspect his German best friend and the enormous quantities of alcohol they consumed may have played a part.
