August 1, 2012



I know it was hot yesterday.

I looked at NOAA's web site yesterday afternoon, and the temperature was 105°. I don't know if the actual temperature went any higher than that, but it is supposed to be 107° today and tomorrow — after which it is expected to cool down to 103°.

I struggled to get through the day with my thermostat set in the mid–80s until well after dark, but it paid off. My electricity consumption actually went down a little.

Yesterday, my consumption for the previous 24–hour period was 39 kWh. But my usage in the most recent 24–hour period appears to be 35 kWh.

My reading this morning was 4933. Yesterday's reading was 4898.

I doubt that I can keep this up. The forecast for the next seven days calls for triple–digit highs every day.

But I will try.
