Pickles by Brian Crane for September 01, 2018

luckily my Amish forefathers and some relatives thereof don’t have to worry about an electric bill… they’d just have to worry about the gas bill

I find that to be a rational fear.

Don’t really mind the dark……..just hard to see where I am going……..it’s my toes that don’t like the dark :-)

I completely agree, Earl! It’s more frightening than any Boogie Monster!

I leave a low wattage bulb in a hallway going downstairs. It provide just enough light in the hose so I can see to go to the bathroom or the kitchen or where ever.

Sounds like my grandpa and brother..

I went from paying $139 per month for electricity on a “Senior Plan” for a single person household in Florida to paying approximately $40 per mnth. on a 2 family house with 6 people in it, in Ecuador ! I still pinch pennies when it comes to the electric – running around our house turning the lights out, the televisions and computers, and fans off, when not in use.

“Hello darkness, my old friend….”

I do not understand why people have such an aversion to paying for comfort and convenience.

I am not afraid of the dark, just the things creeping up on me unseen because of the darkness.

When one is retired, on a fixed income, and facing ever rising power costs. No one minds paying, but one does get fretful when the costs keep spiraling upwards.

Nice drawing and highlights!
