   Ha.. you are describing my life.. I'm still on the electric grid but   
   I live in the woods in a very primitive way. I don't have running   
   water in winter and only cold running water in summer. An outhouse.   
      
   I have a friend I've known since high school and he brings people he   
   knows up to visitme so he can show me off like a museum exhibit, the   
   drop out from society who has survived as such for nearly 40 years.   
      
   Obviously I could improve some of these things if it were all that   
   important to me.   
      
   AT>To me, the $300 electric bill is a wake up call.   
      
   My electric bills hit over $500 this winter, but I get a bit of a rebate   
   so I think the highest was $425 or so..
