Transport

How has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?
Sandra Caughlan 4/24/2019 5:36 AM
I have thoroughly enjoyed riding the light rail to work daily. It is a time to just chill out and read. Time that I don't necessarily have at home taking care of the family duties.

The smart thermostat is great. I am able to program it not to run when no one is at home, which is nice. Looking forward to a lower bill as I continue to make power smart changes in my home.
