OT (Gas prices) Hi GV, RE: "My guess ....steady prices at current levels until next summer... There is a significant risk of very large spikes in the price of crude oil and natural gas."

That sounds rather ominous. Any thoughts on how high of a spike? i.e. what would you guess as the worse-case scenario price?

RE: "re-regulating the price of natural gas à la the 1970's."

How exactly did they do this in the 70's? Also, do you know what the federal law indicates regarding temperatures? Carter imposed either a 67F or 69F max for public buildings (except hospitals) - do you know which of these two temperatures is the law?

Something tells me our office landlord might try to save heat this winter. Fortunately, I can bring a space heater into work if they do this (the landlord pays for the electric bill). I should try to gain weight before the winter - I could use a layer of fat to keep myself warm (I have a high metabolism, which means I can get chilled easily.)

Our CEO personally enjoys indoor temperatures at 55 degrees during the winter. I think his nickname should be, "ice man." (Actually, he never imposes his own personal preferences when it comes to the office temperature - and thank goodness too). You know what I noticed? All the women in our company tend to easily get cold, while all the men in our company tend to easily overheat. There should be two thermostats.

RE: "There will be too many howls for the government to 'do something'."

Do you know what they might try to impose?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
