Sticker Shock

I got up early this morning so I could get a few things done.

One of them was to go to Union Fenosa and pay the December electric bill. The clerk was new. First she got the wrong account. When she finally got my account, I owed $126.

No way!

The bill for November was $35. I paid it because, even if it was too much, it will roll over to pay future bills.

When I got home, I read my meter to get the kwatt useage and much to my puzzlement, it was right. So now we are trying to figure out what in the world is eating up so much electric power.

Couldn't be us!

If it's not one thing, it's another down here.

On the bright side, I picked up my bicycle from the David bicycle shop. It was done, on time.

The bike was spotless...like new. They replaced my disc brake pads and adjusted the bike.

$6 labor and $4 for the pads. Now that's not bad.

I will try it out today and let you know if they did a good job.

This morning I visited the Rotary International group. Several of my friends have recommended this group as an effective, active service organization that does more than collect money. Their list of projects is impressive.

I need some activity that serves someone else other than my own selfish needs. That gets old fast. Hopefully, this may be the ticket.

We had our improv comedy group again today..

Once again, it was a hoot! I really enjoy improv. Where else can you be a smart ass and people appreciate it.

I will say that it is more fun doing it than watching it as an audience. Our small audience was entertained from time to time but improv is a spotty thing.

So there you have it...another slice of life in paradise.
