Sounds a little nefarious there Alndln. Would that be money that you did not have to spend on gas? DJDM.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a 100 - 150' morning commute. Let's see, is that correct? Well, about 20' from bed to bathroom, another 20' to the kitchen for the morning coffee and about 100 - 110' more outside, across the patio and the back yards to the studio door. Yup, that 30 second morning commute - it sure sucks. Gotta admit, some people nailed me on the fires, mudslides, earthquakes, water shortages, electricity prices et al. I guess no place is perfect, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggs Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 We got 12" of snow here in Rochester yesterday and last night. No biggie for us though. We're used to it. We had a really, unusually easy February though. We expect payback even though January was so harsh. By the way, our January gas AND electric bills for our record cold and snowy January was $250... We know how to insulate here, too!

I value Spring more after a tough winterI absolutely agree with you! I look forward to those three days near the end of July every year. You were right, though.

I have a large driveway that can fit 6 SUVs and just imagine how your back will feel after shoveling all that snow by yourself. It's usually $25 a pop. But if it's a family of four like the one 2 months ago, then you have to give more. $50 was the best I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwayne Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 The snow is now melting, so I went to get gas... today it's at $1.79.....as if I care, I got ya all beat, my commute is about 45 feet from my bed to my studio. On the way to my studio, I usually make a stop for coffee in the kitchen. I drive an old Chevy Silverado pick-up truck that's a real gas hog, but I barely go anywhere, so maybe I'll use a tankful a month. Yawn >>> Living' in the shadow, of someone else's dream....

Hendmik Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Originally posted by shniggens: We NEVER bitch about precipitation here in Denver anymore. Sunny days are nice until you can't water your lawn and the forests are burning down.Agreed. I've been hearing people bitching that we had too much snow in February. Idiots. Remember the smell that summer? I live in Wheat Ridge and there were days you couldn't see the street from your window, it was so smokey. Then, we had the 6 foot snow fall March, 03, that caved the roof in at my office (but at least we got to water last summer).
