yeah, it's that damned light bulb - not twice as much, but five times as much. and, there were no spikes yesterday evening, so we'll have to see if it stays that way.

presuming there are no unaccounted for spikes, i should be able to keep the bill under $50 by keeping the usage low for the next week. and, the oesp kicks in on the 26th, meaning i should get about half the month covered.

as of right now, i expect that i'll pay the set up cost and push the rest over. and, if i can really keep to an average of 4 kwh/day for the winter, it should be paid down by the new year.

i didn't check my email yesterday, but i finally got a response from the police complaint i made in mid sept. they are launching an investigation under the lead of the windsor police; i responded back with a request for an independent review, as there's a conflict of interest on the file. we'll see how they react to that.
