I know it is pretty weird out here in Natzifornia, but I didn't know they were doing that. ??? Last week they decided to not implement a new regulation the state bureaucrats were considering. The new reg would have required all new heating/cooling thermostats in homes and businesses to be hooked up to a computer in Sacramento. That way, when they decided there was too much energy being used, they could send out a message and lower your heater setting or raise you air conditioner setting. >:(
No, I am not kidding. They were just about to implement it. Scary thought, isn't it, that they would even think of doing such a thing. This has become such a huge Nanny state it is incredible. One of the greatest places to live in the country, considering the weather, the country itself, the hunting and fishing possibilities, but the nanny state thinking has made it unbearable. The only reason I stay is to preserve my marriage, because my wife won't move. At least not yet.
