Utility bills, gasoline prices, and Ukraine

Dear Editor, Most of us simply want peace in our lives, nation, and world. We enjoy resting in a warm or cool house with something to eat, free from worry and stress. Peace is not always easy. This winter, chances are that your heating bill was chomping on your checking account and taking a huge bite out of your income. You may have turned your thermostat down and wore extra layers hoping to cut back on literally burning up your money.  People have reported gas and electric bills from $500 to over a $1,000 for one month of trying to…
