I just had the weirdest competition with my neighbor. At least, that is what I feel is happening. My neighbor and I have always been friendly with each other, not exactly friends, but on good terms. I was invited over to her place not that long ago, and she proudly showed off her new smart control unit. She seemed certainly smug in doing so, and this wasn’t surprising to me, she came across as the smug type. I didn’t pay too much attention to her new Heating and A/C technology. However, a month later I needed a new thermostat device myself due to issues with my old one. I bought a smart control device and had it installed. It turned out to be a wonderful control unit, and I was happy with it. I had forgotten about my friend getting a new control unit. Also around that time, I made more money than I had expected, so I decided to upgrade my central Heating and A/C system as well. I figured I might as well get that out of the way, since my component was older, and was going to quit working efficiently in the next few years. I know my friend heard of my new smart thermostat unit, and saw the air conditioning truck in my driveway with the new air conditioning equipment, because right after my air conditioning upgrade, she immediately had a new a/c upgrade herself, from the same supplier. Right after her new unit was installed, she made sure to invite me over and proudly show off her new equipment. I was not interested in participating in a competition, so I showed as little interest as possible.
