November 13, 2012



My electric meter continues to do astounding things.

As I have observed here lately, there has been no significant difference between one day and the next lately. There were a few days last week that were warmer than others, but that hasn't accounted for the variation in my electricity consumption.

Take the just–completed 24–hour period. Yesterday's meter reading was 6780. The day before, the reading was 6758. The day before that, the reading was 6757.

The recent pattern was double–digit consumption — possibly influenced by the fact that the previous two days were weekend days, and I was home for most of them. But I can't think of anything that I did that would result in nearly a 50% increase in my electric consumption.

Still, this morning's meter reading suggests that my absence may help keep the usage down. This morning's reading is 6786.
