Up 3.7%

[Today’s run: Watson Road – 3.5 miles]

We’ve had a bit of interesting weather in the last few days.  Last week we were hot.  Then on Thursday of this week we had 3 inches of snow.  Snow in Mississippi pretty much brings things to a halt.    When I lived in Colorado I thought this was a sure sign of the laziness of southerners.  But now I know that the real problem is that there is no sanding or snow removal.  So a bit of ice or snow turns the roads slip-sliding like you normally wouldn’t see even in Colorado.

I guess that goes-to-show that snow removal and sanding/salting really does help.  Without it you can’t get very far.

We got our January landline phone bill from AT&T today.  It went up $2.20.  that was a $2.00 increase in the regular phone service rate and an extra $0.20 in taxes.  It came out to be a 3.7% increase.  The official inflation rate for 2012 was 2.07%.  So I guess I must be getting about 1.63% better service than I was last year and that is why I am paying more?
