Gas

For those of you following the news - you have probably heard that Ukraine is in yet another dispute with Russia over gas prices. Our apartment is nice and toasty warm- and the last we heard, Ukraine said they had enough gas to supply internal needs for 3 months - but that was before the stakes were raised by halting gas supplies to Europe (who actually stopped the flow is disputed - both sides had things to gain from a stoppage - Ukraine to show Russia that it has muscle to flex by controlling supply and Russia by showing Ukraine that it means business). Depending on who Ukraine wants to please - the internal gas supply may eventually come under threat (what better way to repay some of it numerous debts than by selling its own gas to the dozen + European nations affected by the "Russian" stoppage at premium).
Anyway - we are currently toasty and warm - and thankful for it esp in the midst of 0 degree F weather.
