Thanks for your thoughts Joan.
BTW,<<Both of the companies that supply our electricity and natural gas are walking bankruptcies.>> My son-in-law here in CO is in the tree cutting business which has been booming down in Denver since the worst snow storm since 1913 hit here a couple of months ago (60' maples, ash, birch, etc.). He's hauling the logs up here and cut & splitting to sell as firewood next winter, which probably isn't a bad idea with the prospects of higher energy prices and possible bankruptcies. Although as an ex-contractor/carpenter, it's killing me to see this beautiful old growth timber being saved as firewood.

Take care & thanks,
Bill/WA
