  I do, but it has its own building, with its own power bills.

  What the actual fuck?!  I UP AND MOVED when the power got too
expensive in Florida, as it started to hit 14 cents!  I pay about 10.5
here, but that's commercial rates.

  I had no idea it was that bad where you are.  I'm really sorry to hear
it.  It's time to move, man.  Wow.
