A Test Thread. Because I thought of it too late to include in the real thread but now I want to figure out how it works. Single person, 1 bedroom house, coastal climate, no A/C, largest electrical user is the 3/4 hp submersible pump. I actually recorded my [electrical usage](http://pages.suddenlink.net/pdnspace/ASGuyMaterial/ASGuyPhoto.html) each month for five years. My average monthly usage for the five year period: 206 Kwh. Typical electric bill: $39. watchwolf has it good. My cost per Kwh is 11.45¢, which I think is a great deal for the versatility of electricity. ---

Abstraction revels in authority. Nothing of importance is interdependent on the relatedness of motivation, subcultures, and management. That stolen figurine set a treehouse on fire. ---

Curse you son of the dog-eared nether flying camel. Your soul belongs to the flying monkeys, you poor, wretched, loathing creature. May you forever rest in the uncertainty of your own shallow mind and have small punctual snot-wads about your nose and inner ear. Your soul belongs in niether heaven, hell, nor earth but shall be found in that infinitesimal of grey flash that presents itself between the commercial and tonight’s feature presentation. ---
