%ppppp  Our electric IS the lowest in the country <g>

Speaking of "up here in the mountains," we have yet to figure out why our 
gas is always lower than those places around us.  Not that we're 
complaining, heaven forbid, but it sure seems strange when you figure they 
have to truck the stuff from the Bay Area up to Redding and then another 2 
plus hours up in the mountains to us.

Lynda, who wishes she could afford to still live in Humboldt County!
