Just lost my shit talking to some poor lady who works for the power company. I've been paying two sets of power bills since my father died in 2000. One is for the house where I (duh) live. The other is for his two barns, which were part of his business. They use basically zero electricity. In the 2000s, I paid less than a dollar a month to power them @ 0 KwH. Now, thanks to the de-regulation of the MA energy market, it's over $10. National Grid is after me because there's been zero usage on the barns for over 6 mos and they think there's something wrong with the meter. After an, ahem, spirited conversation with two different reps I arranged to cut power to the fucking barns. My next goal is to switch power companies, which something we can do now in the dystopian future of scenic western MA. I get a sea of junk mail from companies that offer deals that reek like cell phone providers. "Introductory rates" "low payments for 6 months" blah blah blah. I want to see the world burn. I think actually it is. It was nearly 70º in February.

"It's 1981, we have all this video editing technology, no idea what to do with it, and we're still high AF from that buzz we caught in the 70s." "...and we really were high as an absolute MFer in the 70s." (This post contains spoilers of what's going to happen in future Test Tones. Not this week or even necessarily the following one. Now you have some idea of what my brain's been chewing on.)

In the parlance of our times, winter is all like "oh sorry I'm late bro, but don't worry, I brought extra to make up for it!"
