    Look for the return of "fuel surcharge" to your receipts soon.

    How would they do that? Is that a function of their new "smart" meters? 30-some years ago, my house was set up for off-peak metering. There was a second meter that I believe only had my water heater on it. Supposedly the idea was to help ensure a more consistent load on their generators at...

    Mmmm, nothing like the taste of stolen gas. Bonus lead flavor back then, too.

    We only buy 10% of our oil from the middle east, so it shouldn't affect us as much as it does. But it's traded as a commodity on futures markets, so it's subject to the whims of "the market". Maybe this will kickstart interest in them newfangled electric cars. Are they still a thing?

    NVM, I checked. Up 15% YTD. Trading at $615! It was $45 when I left in '05. Shoulda bought some.

    Yay! Turns out the stock market isn't fond of war, either. How's CACI's stock doing?

    Don't worry, she'll still be around in her new, made-up role: "special envoy for the Shield of the Americas". She'll have a new office in the basement and they'll take away her red stapler.

    The Indoor Cyclist's support thread

    Honestly. I don't really like any type of indoor cycling but desperate times call for desperate measures. I thought I had bikes for all conditions but this winter proved me wrong. Looks like we'll get some significant melting in the coming days but mud season...

    I did a gravel loop of Acadia on Rouvy the other day. I have to admit it was pretty good. The sun was shining and people were walking and riding in shorts. Coulda used some crunchy sound effects and some pine tree scented air freshener, though.
