Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

I just came back from southern Calif. after being there for just over a month.  I don't remember it ever being so cold at this time of the year when I used to live there.  I only packed a couple of heavy sweaters along with long sleeve lightweight tops and I lived in the warmer clothes.  Luckily my daughter and I are the same size and wear each other's clothes so I was ok and my lightweights never came out of the case.

you're absolutely right d2.  I make changes like that when I upgrade, improve or replace things. 

I replaced old 1960s technology with a high efficient gas heating system.  Heat pumps aren't an ideal option in our climate.  Cut my total annual gas usage by 40%.

Unfortunately, my city has some strict zoning codes, so I was only able to install a wind turbine 25ft tall in a residential neighborhood.  It's a small one that will only generate 8-10 kw on a good day. We then added solar panels on our roof, right after replacing/improving old roof.  Four days this week, they generated 14+kw on 10.3 hours of bright sunlight.  The two systems generated enough electricity, sent back into the grid, that I had credits to use in November, December an January.  My monthly electric bill is $10-$30.  Mostly taxes and other fees.  The credits are a use them or lose them basis.

Recently replaced 20+ year old refrigerator.  It should be 15% more efficient, according to Com-Ed.

Next on our list is our clothes washer and (gas) dryer.  And then the dishwasher.

The gas lawnmower does bother me.  It needs work that may be expensive enough to need replacement.  (the small engine mechanics charge $90/hour)
So, we will see.  $280 for repairs or $660 for battery lawn mower. 

And our snow thrower is gasoline powered.  Looks like I will get a second chance to run it this season. 

We also have a gas stove in our kitchen.

Don't shovel that snow as you will produce too much CO2!
