[Highland Park] Another Kind of Stealing
by Stephen G. Scalese 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi Neighbors... Was anyone else shocked at their November/December gas bill? Mine was $342.00, and my wife and I were out-of-state except for a few days of that time. The thermostat was set at 55 degrees the whole time. Our water and electric were 50% less than usual. Has anyone noticed all the miscellaneous charges that add up to 36% of the bill? 22% alone for "distribution," or sending the gas thru the pipe. I haven't noticed that there is a shortage of natural gas. Does anyone else care to see if there's something we can do. Of course, Equitable has no competition now, but maybe that can be changed. Let me know if you're interested, or if you have any info I don't. Thanks, and blessings for the new year.

[Highland Park] Exotic Birds
by flamingoblue 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

While walking the other day at dusk, (always looking for the eagle), I spotted a really large bird flying thru the sky. I was, at first thinking, it could be the eagle, but then I noticed it had a long pointed beak and long neck. And of course it had a huge wing span. I believe it was a Great Blue Heron!!! It was so beautiful!!!! Keep your eyes to the skies and maybe you will see something really cool, and not a crow convention!!! Marty Harkins
