I’ve known Blake for more than 30 years. I hate Blake. Blake is who I would be if I were smarter, better looking, and a hell of a lot more efficient. But I’m not and his silly business is too far away for me to hire him so I’m stuck doing my energy efficiency upgrades on my own, but as I already said, I’m just not as good at it as he is. Maybe I can find a local contractor who can do some of it but I can pretty much guarantee that they too will not be as smart as Blake and they will probably rip me off. And so, I hate Blake; he’s too damn smart, honest, and he’s annoyingly located in some dumb town too far away to be useful.
