@damascus1986 : I cringe when I think about having to negotiate a new power contract next summer. I also need just a few more weeks of mild weather so I can get my last crop of beans in, they can handle some cold, but not a real freeze.
I was reading an article on seniors being priced out of their homes now. Apartment rent is going up, and some of them have lived in the same apartments for years. Waiting times for a subsidized apartment can be years long. Not a good time for a lot of people trying to find a place to live.
