Lucky you! Both prices are much higher here. Oil is over $5.00/gal, and firewood is $350 or more. Of course, with firewood, they use the term "cord," but what you really get is a load. I'm going to try to insulate even more and wear a jacket in the house.

I'm sure the oil price will go higher as fall approaches, will have the tank filled soon. As to wood; there are dozens of woodcutters who have truckloads of firewood for sale here, some even set up in WalMart parking lot all year round. Same price usually, $220-$260 is a norm. I could go out and cut my own, many people do but at 83 I'd rather buy it and get it delivered and stacked!
