a tiny light in the darkness?
Yesterday, the first furnace oil delivery of the season came to the home of your Blogress.
Now, back in the dawn of history, ie, Feb 2002, this stuff cost 43.65 cents per litre. What with this and that and other World Events, said Stuff cost your Blogress 88.40 cents per litre in May, 2006.
The cost on October 17, 2006?? 78.70 cents per litre.
This is not the time to throw open the windows and breathe the crisp fresh winter air, of course; but I'm not ready to double up on the woolly underwear, either.
There is, by the way, a great word to describe the atmosphere of a room that has been thoroughly insulated against the cold for some 6 months, in a pathetic attempt to 'save on fuel.' This word means, "thick, stuffy, smelly atmosphere, especially that of a crowded, poorly-ventilated room." Its misfortune is that it sounds like one of our 4 letter words, which is why it is not popular today. The word? "Fug." It SOUNDS exactly like what we can all recognize, come March, doesn't it?
