August 2, 2014



I fear that the mild weather we have been enjoying will end sometime today.

It may return in a couple of weeks, as it did a few days ago, or it might not return for a couple of months. All I know is it has been nice while it's been here. I don't think the temperature ever got out of the 70s yesterday.

Last night's low was supposed to be in the upper 60s. It was 68° when I woke up. That, too, may not return for a couple of months.

This morning's meter reading is between 17428 and 17429. Yesterday's reading was 17421. My consumption in the last 24 hours was 7½ kWh — an amazingly low figure for early August, but it is still more than 7% higher than my consumption in the previous 24 hours.

It is nearly 80% lower than my consumption of a year ago. In early August last year, Dallas was sweltering through a stretch of 100°–plus days, and daily utility consumption was exceeding 30 kWh in spite of my best efforts.
