Or is it behind a locked fence? However, I understand your irritation. I can't stand having to stay home waiting for someone (repair person, delivery, etc.). Jill |

Your gas meter is *indoors*????? Wow! Although I'm quite sure all our meter readings are done remotely via computer these days, every single one of our meters (gas, water & electricity) is outside, and in the front part of the yard so that a meter reader can check it without impinging on your private areas (you grant them access and the right to be on your property as part of the contract of them supplying the utility to you, but they are no more trespassing as anyone else knocking on your front door without explicit permission from you first). The next question of course is.... is the outcome of the election worth more to you than the penalty? Yowie |

I settled the question with a furious call to the gas company. Without going into tedious detail, I convinced them to remove the penalties on the bill, and I went off to vote.
