My last electricity bill came with a surprise, apparently they must of been reading some incorrect info and went back over the couple of years and fixed up the price. Over $1k in credit now + I get the Carbon monies back soon.....

I got stung by the heater trap a fair while back. $70 heater = $800 power bill. Before that I didn't care for kilowatt hours but almost overnight I became an energy efficiency expert.

Same thing happened to me over 2 bill cycles. I thought it was strange that a usual $400 bill was circa $700. I was much happier when the next bill was $70 though. Amazing how one mis-read digit on the meter can make such a massive difference to the price.

The residents of the state of Hawaii consume the most Spam per capita in the United States. On average, each person consumes 16 tins of Spam per year.
Earlier this year I was on another Pacific island which is part of the USA which is where I saw those nuts. They serve Spam in restaurants and even have cookbooks with local Spam recipes. These people would certainly rival the Hawaiians for Spam consumption.
