June 19, 2012



I want to go on record as saying that I really tried yesterday to keep my electricity consumption down.

And, to a certain extent, I was successful.

Today's reading is between 3506 and 3507. Yesterday's reading was 3479. So, clearly, I remained below that 30 kWh threshold — either way.

But I know it won't last — unless this summer is unusually mild for Texas.

Perhaps it will be. We're about two–thirds of the way through June, and we still haven't hit 100° in actual air temperature (heat index, in which one factors in the humidity, is an entirely different matter). We've also had more rain lately than we've tended to have at this time of the year, and that moisture in the ground helps keep the temperature down.

Still, I've lived through too many Texas summers to think that this one will be anything but miserably hot before it ends.
