October 2, 2013



I keep hoping that this week will be summer's last gasp. Temperatures yesterday got into the 90s, and the same is expected for the rest of the week.

By Saturday, forecasts call for highs in the 70s to low 80s during the day — and into the 50s at night.

That is certainly encouraging, but I've lived here for many years — and I visited my grandparents here for many years before that — and I've seen summer–like temperatures well into October and even into November.

I'm hopeful — but realistic. Anyway, my electricity consumption went up yesterday.

This morning's meter reading is 11952. Yesterday's reading was between 11939 and 11940 so consumption was 12½ kWh. That's an increase of nearly 32% compared to the previous 24–hour period.

And it's an increase of 25% compared to this day in 2012.
