Then we'll have committees debate and plan for the next year, and they'll come up with a solution nobody wants. Another year goes by, and we'll finally decide to build a nice new wall, designed the same way as the retaining wall down the hill. It will have elevated viewing areas with binoculars, and it will be well (23)

- 1) Can you check your meter and panel? If so, turn off the panel and make sure 'your' meter stops counting. If it still goes up, you might be paying for someone else's electricity. Then get a multimeter and start checking appliances on and off. Many things have vampire draw even when off. Check your bill for the kWh used over the past 2 years to see if usage has increased. And compare the itemized charges. (12)
