Watch your back, Al. I'm coming for you. I'm going to kick your tail and take your lunch money...
My frugal heart skipped a beat yesterday when I read my latest utility bill.
$390?!
Last month, it was $220. The month before it was $83. The months before that were all in the $40 to $50 range.
What in the name of Al Gore is going on here?!?
Yes, I’m call you out, Al. My utility bill — thanks to my gas heat usage — has exponentially risen as the temperature has dropped. The past month it’s been absolutely freezing here.
I know, “freezing in December and January…what’s the world coming to?” But you don’t understand. This is Georgia. There hasn’t been a cold December/January in my neck of the woods since 1996. Jacket weather, which lasts approximately three weeks, doesn’t arrive until late February or early March.
But not this year. This year it’s been cold. Ridiculously cold. And I blame Al Gore.
Watch your back, Al. I’m coming for you. I’m going to kick your tail and take your lunch money, which I hope is approximately $390.
I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.

This is Georgia’s punishment. No amount of peaches or golf tournaments will be able to save you. (Those are the two main things I know about Georgia. That, and that your state was named after some monarch.)

Not to make you feel worse, but I live in Alaska and my last utility bill was about $140…of course that’s not counting the fuel I had to buy for the heater, which cost $170…but still. $310 is less than $390.

While you’re kicking his tail and taking his lunch money, stick your tongue out at him for me and tell him Jenny thinks he’s ugly and his mom dresses him funny.
