10 Things to Like about $4 gasoline

Interesting.

I have certainly been seeing 'way more bikes on the road. On Monday, I probably could have counted somewhere between 50 and 100 bicycles on my way home, a trip which is just under five miles. The Minneapolis Greenway is just teeming with bicycles.

The one about four day work weeks was really interesting. That may mean 4, 10 hour days, but still... job turnover down 44%?! Sick leave down 50%? And over a quarter-million dollars less spent on energy in one three-month period?

Wow. I know that the clerestory windows in the living room have been back-burnered for years while we put in more efficient windows elsewhere. But W actually suggested I check out the prices at Andersen Windows, since they have a special on windows they install.

I had suggested UV film, but this might be even better. The living room is the one place where we want more insulation and can't get it -- the distance between room and roof is only a couple of feet, and it's sealed from either side of the house. We can a) rip the roof off/wait until shingles need replacing, and do it then. b)We can space bubble the ceiling and put another ceiling below that. Or C -- move the thermostat for the bedrooms, which is also in the open hallway by the living room.

I hate this constant nickel and dime-ing. W even got a new bike pump. To work is not a problem -- heading home, when it's 98 F and the humidity is also in the nineties? Brutal.
