October 8, 2013



Fall appears to have arrived — although I always have to provide something of a disclaimer when I say something like that in Texas.

I've lived through enough Texas summers to know that the heat is always a threat to return — for a day or two, sometimes more — until maybe Thanksgiving.

Right now, though, we're getting highs in the low 80s and lows in the mid– to upper 50s.

This morning's meter reading is 12025. Yesterday's reading was 12016 so consumption was 9 kWh, which is an increase of nearly 29% over the previous 24 hours. I don't really know why that is so. My air conditioning hasn't run since last week. All that has run is the usual appliances.

Last year on this day, consumption was 22 kWh — temperatures apparently were so cold that I needed to run my heat overnight — so, compared to a year ago, my consumption is 59% lower this year.
