Big Freeze 2.0

 It's very cold here. The Arctic came to say hi, because of global warming. It's colder than in London, which is right on the Arctic Circle. 

It's 30 feeling like 15F with the wind, which is to say, it's -1 feeling like -9C. 

It bothers me because it's global warming that sends the arctic down here, but also because in 2021 it was just terrible in my old house. It was so bad. My ptsd put me in a survivalist huddle mode. My house lost power for 3 days and it got down to 40 inside the house. Then we lost water. There was a terrible flood in the end because an idiot on the rental property staff had put a cap on a leak and that sent all the water into the basement!

A few weeks later, fluffy white mould was growing up out of the wood floor and black mold was coating the "mud room" (where you put boots and coats). A hot water pipe had burst and was making fluorescent goo ooze out of the outside wall. 

The property manager was walking by my window talking with his boss. "He will have to prove it's mold, by taking it to a lab. You can't really prove it's mold unless you do." 

I collected a sample immediately. How fucking dare people treat renters like this. 

A few weeks ago, I drove past the property to see that it had been razed to the ground.
