One of the opening scenes of The Big Lebowski has The Dude (the main character, played by Jeff Bridges) writing a check for 69 cents. The humor in this is people generally avoid writing a check that small.

But, have you gotten your PG&E bill for October yet?

You're getting 15 percent off whatever you were charged in July. Here's PG&E's plan for this bill credit, filed with the California Public Utilities Comission.

Now, here's the interesting part for me. Because the only energy hog in my apartment is the air conditioning, my October bill is now $1.14.

I'm seriously considering writing the check, instead of utilizing another payment option. It's just The Dude in me.
