It's summer in Antarctica of course.

Nice day again here, sunny if slightly chilly.

I am very glad the be out of Ohio in winter.

32°F and sunny, headed up to 49°F, going to get into the sixties this weekend, some rain possible.

Cold here nearly always means sunny.  Warm here usually means rain.

I was curious about our HVAC bills here in the condo.  Last month's was $125.  We're all electric, running a heat pump which I'm told is fed by heated water from a central gas heating unit.  Hot water here comes from another central gas hot water tank I'm told, so we don't have much beyond moving air around and lights.

We'd be paying $400 a month in Cincy for high efficiency gas heat and electric in winter, so this is better.  BY the time I add cable (which was $171 in Cincy, with TV, and free here) and water (about $100 a month there, free here), I'm almost no worse off considering I don't need to paint or maintain or garden etc.  The HOA went up 2% end of the year, which sounds about right.

We're having a problem with our heater. But it's not cold enough to worry about telling the property management company to fix it. 

Reached out to my bud in Milwaukee, thinking about that time back in '96 that we tossed boiling water in the air to make snow--the same week our heat went out (we did not wait to tell management).

He did it again last night. My California kids thought the video was so cool. SFIrish was grateful to live in California.

Several people have gone to the ER after doing the water thing. They were the ones who threw the water straight up and it didn't melt. Darwin awards are on the way.

Depression is very insidious.  I went though a period where I did not want to get better, I didn't want much of anything at all out of life.  I had to tell my girls they were pretty much on their on other than having the bills paid.  I managed to get through it with some help.  I think not caring is one of the worst things to experience, complete apathy about life.

We were smart enough at the time (and he was last night) to throw away from ourselves (being sober helped both times). There are risks in a lot of things, and mitigation, too. :-)
