I selfishly wish "they" would stop messing about with the economy and
make the oil-prices go back down to a reasonable level.
Currently here lowest price is DKK13,68 (or EUR1,84 (or GBP1,61 (or
CAD2,44 (or USD1,84)))) per litre, and I'm not paying that.
So I burn a good amount of wood at the moment.

Oh no. I don't have a car (or other combustion engine device). I have my
trusty bikes (and the rare delivery company) for all my transport needs.

Not that weird. Back in the day (ww2) that's how it was done when the
petrol rations ran out:

at the end of my driveway. It was not the least disturbed by me being

A lot of houses and district heating plants around here was converted to
or build for natural gas when they started pulling it out of the danish
part of the north sea in the late 1970s I think. Supposedly it was
"cleaner" than oil - and of course it wasn't import.
You may have heard that NG is not only rather more expensive these days
and also the european supply isn't as secure as had been expected.
Anyway solar- or wind-powered heat pumps is the future (for now).

whether the big outside lamp is on?

So you live in a place where there is no wind and 40'C and humid...?
I thought you were in Canada. With the polar bear and the inuits and all
that.

He-he. Silly 'merkins.
But also: Dammit, I pay close to $100[1] for a teeth cleaning. And I'm

present one don't seem in a hurry to reverse that.
