The heat has arrived.

[dragongoddess]

Here it is the last of Feb and the begining of March and the Temp is hitting 80 degrees already. Had to run the AC in the truck yesterday on the way to the range. All but one computer is running and it is no longer running 24/7. I've been forced out of DC by real life concerns. In other words the electric company is raising my bill another 10% on top of the 10% it raised last September. Will it ever stop?

You wanna live over here in UK.
Electric and gas going up twice a year cos it`s tied to EU price of oil and French and German monopoly companies. Last rise announced was Powergen who are trying to outdo Centrica with a 24% and 18% rise and likely more to come cos they reckon their buying in price has gone up 78%. Still doesn`t stop them from making huge profits though.
Temp is tonite at -6C here and snow on the way cos Aberdeen (our E coast weather neighbour) is near blocked off with snowdrifts on the E coast line and roads.

Live in the UK. Probably not. A return vist would be great but I kinda like the heat and prefer living in the desert than anywhere else. I've got my mountains and my wide open spaces. Kinda hard to beat in my book.

So how you doing old man.

Electricity will always raise until countries invest in renewable energy sources.
You guys from US waste too much energy, in the future you're all going to pay.

We'll be just fine, people are starting to get concerned here in the states and more attention is being focused on renewable engergy and more efficient energy,

Well here we like our beer cold and that requires electricty. You guys on the other hand drink yours warm/hot.

[Shish]

Wash yer mouth out granny.....we serve our beer and lager (except for Real Ale which should be at cellar temp and conditioned before drinking) through double chillers. It`s just above the point where the obligatory water content freezes

[dragongoddess]

Sorry about that Shish. It was the only thing I could come up with on short notice in regards to carlos. Must of been thinking about them german beers.

[Thor]

No way, german beer is also served chilled!

Maybe not a 0° C but quite cold... I know nobody who likes warm beer!

So everybody, have a cold one
