Yes we cover hydro for the staff houses as well, so this works for me just fine. But it’s still a drop in the bucket.

Sometimes I feel like all these rebates and such could be accomplished by letting everyone earn $35,000 tax free, instead of the $11 or so we get now.


And massively simplify tax time.

But… makes government announcements that look good to their base harder.

I think we were out for 75 minutes or so. Killed the busy part of breakfast. I was asleep anyways but did remember to reset the hot tub before I left for work.

The Jubilee outage was caused by a “bird contacting our wire.”
