Well fellers I am lucky in that I only have to drive 13 miles roundtrip a day to work. If I don't twaddle about too much or make too many trips to town or to visit my folks I'm doin' O.K. I try and hook as many trips together as i can to save fuel. Don't know what to do about the cost of heating. I keep the thermostat turned down to 60 unless I got company coming. Try and seal up all the cracks and add insulation whar I can. I rekkin' best we can do is hope fer a mild winter, put on a sweater and "flip-the-bird" at the Abba-Dabbas. Good Old Uncle Sam tells me that I kin git a break on my taxes for all the extra stuff I've installed in my home! A 10% Tax break! WHOOPIE! That means if all my upgrades meet their standards I can get $500 tax credit for the $5000.00 worth of windows, doors and such. Meanwhile the folks in Harrisburg just voted to double their salaries and further pad their pensions. Grrr....Audie........
