Wonder how long it will take the TDS’ers to accuse Orange Man of pushing his X down the stairs?

The PEA (electric company) and had the proper equipment to verify the meter operation, which they did. As I expected, the meter is OK.

I expect that PEA entered the wrong numbers for the previous electric usage but hell or high water, I cannot get them to fee up to that much less get the correct numbers entered.

Now every morning I record the numbers on the meter...PEA said to wait until the next bill comes along.

Over 200 cyclists turn out for Milwaukee’s second annual World Naked Bike Ride 2022

Weather didn’t deter bikers from showing up and showing out at Milwaukee’s second annual World Naked Bike Ride on Saturday.

As clouds rolled in over the city, over 200 riders still congregated to celebrate the city’s nudist event of the summer. The clothing-optional, “bare as you dare” bike ride began at 4 p.m., with the route passing the Milwaukee Art Museum, the War Memorial Center and going around the Lakeshore State Park twice...

From Woodstock then... today...

For the know it all stooges....

Wake up Trump haters!

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. Amazing, he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, What am I doing? I'm too old for this, and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper.

...and then this reality...

Just looks strange to me...but my excuse.... I was taught American 555

Did something get changed?

The shopping chain here in Thailand, Lotus, has changed their name to Lotus's...

Did the rules change?

874 years ago when I was taught English...it was if the word ended with a s, then the new store name should be, Lotus'

Comments? correctness?

Us from the USA do NOT speak English...we speak American 55555555555

Your previous bills will demonstrate a problem,  if previous months around (x) units and then last one 4 (x) units. 

So as long as not mining Bitcoin or built a massive extension with multiple additional AC units, then either been tapped by a neighbour, Meter misread or Meter gone haywire.

Yes, agree. For the past year, consumption has been between 200 KW and 300 KW. This time, 974 KW??? no way!

No indication of the line being tapped by a neighbor. All cables fully exposed and easy to verify.

My bet is that the meter was misread. I made a photo of the meter and will check everyday as to the consumption.
I do have an amprobe and could roughly verify the accuracy of the meter, maybe later...

I've never seen one but maybe a bad electric meter?

Or, the meter reader misread the meter?

PEA will check the meter this week... 

PEA has more then tripled the household electric bills... for the next three months...

My bill is 4Xs what it normally is...WTF???
