Hi there. I had to come up with a title which summed it all up and that's what I came up with: whose salmon are we stroking, anyway?
It's all about "energy efficiency"... below the fold.
So I no longer live in Seattle. In fact they owe me a utilities refund... I'm still waiting for it.
But I got in the mail a "Home Electricity Report"; mind you, I don't live there any more.
Our last electricity bill cleared September 15th... and then there was the period to the end of the month.. and the double billing... and I'm still waiting for them to cut me a reconciliation check, since I paid them twice.
Meanwhile I got this ever so kewl "Home Elecricity Report" which theys that I uthed an athtounding eight thewty fwa keyowhatts of pwoweer.
In November.
Nice.
Except I cancelled service at the end of September.
That is not the end... only the beginning... of the pithiest comment to be derived from this mythplaced piece of government propaganda:
(EFFICIENT NEIGHBORS The most efficient 20 percent from the "All Neighbors" group) Geez, apparently we didn't do as good as that group!
Dang! If I'd stayed, I'd be competing against the empty houses and the homeowners the City is trying to starve out with property tax giveaways to... people not in the '1295?
