The temperature dropped from the 90's to the 80's to the 70's this past week. Fall is here. Farewell to summer. I wore my jacket to work today with my winter workshirt. I got out my winter pj's from storage. Next week I probably will have to get out my long-sleeved shirts and put away my tank tops. Then bring out my boots from the back of the closet. In another month or so when the temperature reaches the 50's, I will tape plastic to my windows to insulate it more. Apartments never have heat efficeint windows. Why should apartment owners care what renters pay for heat during the winter, they're not paying the bill? Last winter my electric bill was resonable.
In winter, sometimes a story like a landlord not fixing something so renters have to use their ovens to heat their apartment comes on the news. Yeah, that is when one gets a lawyer. Once I had a broken thermostat when I was in college that my landlady refused to fix (among other things), but my parents were not smart enough to know that was illegal for the landlady to do (at least I think that would be illegal). My Mom did complain to the electric company about the very high bill, but of course the electric company can not force my landlady to fix anything. My Mom got a lesson that not everyone is sweet and honest as her. I do wonder often what planet she lives on. It still astonishes her how rude customers can be with sales clerks. Post later. Bye!
