 not seeing red

our latest gas bill is $70 less than last month's. is it possible the new windows are already saving us that much money? maybe it was simply a little warmer last month.

my clock radio developed a major flaw yesterday: the little dot which indicates AM or PM burned out. no longer could i tell whether i was setting the alarm correctly, or if it was 12 hours off. consequently i overslept this morning (because i guessed wrong). i made a point of going alarm-clock shopping this evening, and popped into target 5 minutes before they closed.

it's been years since i've been confronted with the wide array of clock radios. in fact, i think got this now-useless model in college, probably --good lord!!-- 18 or 19 years ago. jeez.

anyway, the selection is overwhelming. with 5 minutes to make my decision tonight, i weighed which features i really needed. one alarm, or two? CD player? ipod dock? phone?

i finally walked away with a GE clock/radio/phone combination for about $25. it enabled me to get rid of the phone on my nightstand, so now i have a little more free space over there for trashy magazines.
