Even if it is, it ought to level out at the next reading.  Actual readings 
should be getting collected as input to every other billing cycle.

Besides, you're getting off easy.  The city residential power rate is only 6.6 
cents per kilowatt/hour.  We're getting right fucked over here in the rurals 
with TransAlta Ukeleles who are selling the stuff off to us at 7.58 cents per 
kilowatt hour.

Thanks, in no small part to the EEMA (Electrical Energy Marketing Agreement) 
which should have been shit-canned years ago ...
