It got suddenly cool -or rather colder from the latter half of September. But even after the summer with a long spell of intense heat ended, various problems due to atomic power accident haven't ended
. Nor is the problem of electricity shortage. In a sense, saving electricity can be harder in winter than summer. In summer, we could tough it out by using fans, opening up windows -summer is the season we could spend shirt-sleeve. But in winter, we catch cold more easily unless we get bundled up. Then, we are demanded to cudgel our brains to save electricity again.
I choose long-sleeved or short-sleeved by temperature and my physical condition. However, I still hear long-sleeved underwear is called with disparaging words as underwear for middle-aged or elderly women. Then, some people might avoid wearing them by vanity and turn up the thermostat. If you wear long-sleeved underwear, you can avoid wear too heavy layer of clothes, and look smarter.

And again -gambling amusement parlors with too flashy illuminations: As I pass by a few of those parlors every morning I commute, I thought up that what if all those amusement parlors introduce electrical power facilities using natural energy -then the law of demand and supply might change and that might help promoting the use of natural energy... this could be also another story here, though.
