There is an upside though. It's unrelated but it's still an upside. I signed for electricity in a fixed price contract at the end of last year. Guess what? The oil prices went up. The HSFO price at contract confirmation was USD491.70/MT. The current price level is about $513.84/MT. High Sulphur Fuel Oil. Whee!

I will probably head down to Borders this afternoon to pick up a few more volumes. I picked up 'A History of Histories' last night, some pulpy SF novel and an illustrated volume on Ancient Athens and Rome.

During the holidays the Military Channel on cable was devoting the entire weekend on the Roman Empire. Fascinating stuff, but not entirely unfamiliar to me. I will soon be looking at some history books on the subject myself.

Thanks V. I will keep a look out. They may screen it here.

Have you picked up any histories on the Roman Empire yet?

Not yet. I was at Borders today and got sidetracked to the Science section and purchased "In Search of Schrodinger's Cat" by John Gribbin. Though I do have a copy of "A short History of Byzantium" by John Julius Norwich which I have yet to read.
