   Yes, but that scatter was only 1 variable, OAT, that affects kWh used. A   
   major part of that apparent scatter was that there were other   
   independent variables in hand at the time but not controlled in the   
   scatter plot. When the additional independent variables are introduced   
   the kWh variance was significantly reduced. The main ones are changes we   
   made in the house that reduced energy lost rate and thus energy required   
   to maintain temperature. Those changes are documented by date and expense.   
      
   No data were "massaged" other than a ln transform of the dependent   
   variable. And that only increased t scores for the independent variables.   
      
   I'm doubting if you every built a regression model.

   Inquired?  Nope.   
   Called you out on the holes in your lame brag attempts?  Yup!   
      
   Which is the same as asking for more to fill in the "holes".

    > You are the one who labeled my house as a tract home, now it's a   
   trophy home. Tract home is correct. Nothing special in a part of Carmel   
   full of $1+ million mansions. Compared to Alan's 500 sq ft Vancouver   
   condo you might be right, but in this area!   
      
   If it really is so humble, then you wouldn't be trying to compare   
   yourself to an urban condo...right?  /s   
      
   Wrong. In the Vancouver market my home is a "trophy" worth well over $1   
   million. Not here, where housing is much more affordable. On my income   
   my house in Vancouver would be a stretch. Here I can easily affordable it.   
      
   You can't keep your apples and oranges straight.   
      
   Next - travel   
      
   We traveled a record number of days this year, almost 3 months. Not   
   because of you, because of some great opportunities. Already planned 2   
   weeks in France next year, 2 weeks at Beaver creek and some time in   
   Florida. More to come.   
      
   Travel has to compete for time doing other things, after all.
