Want lower utility bills? Turn down (or off) the heat.

This year, I have not used the heat at all. College Station has very mild winters and my apartment is surprisingly well insulated. (It stays about 20-25F above outdoor with only a PC and a refrigerator as major heat sources!)

(And my friend Susie Stillwell was really upset when her heat pump broke down. In fact, cold apparently makes her go insane because she didn't take my offer to help her fix it. Go figure...)
