Well given how high my bill is, I guess Duke took pity on me and sent 8.  Just happened to be the perfect number since I had 8 remaining CFL bulbs.

The Trump stock bounce has made me a niuce pile of cash, even with the retarded capital gains taxes.

And you jelly I like Seedy over an Eggplant.

Mrs B keeps on buying incandescent bulbs.

She really enjoys having shit burn out all the time and enjoys having higher energy bills? Huh.

When Martim reappeared.

She's a smart women, you did good marrying her.

It is said that about 90% of the energy that an incandescent bulb consume is release has heat. I wonder what we do, here in Canada, with heat?

[Caliga]

Yeah those things were annoying. Glad we rapidly moved past that little innovation.

LED bulbs don't seem to work very well in outdoor spaces though.  I've had 3 burn out on me that I've installed in outdoor fixtures, so I keep CFLs in those.

Electricity has historically been one of the most expensive forms of heat, at least in Alberta. I suspect that is still true.

Light bulbs are often near the ceiling of a room where heat generation is least effective.

A heating element that needs to be replaced every couple months is suboptimal.

I had been having that trouble with incandescent porch lights.  So I ordered some outdoor-rated LEDs from Amazon and so far, so good.

[Caliga]

Yeah, I put the outdoor ones in and those are the ones that failed.  Maybe they're getting better now.
