You keep telling me that. Please.

Now it's 100°. And we haven't even hit the worst part of the day!

You weren't kidding about not moving around. I'm sitting in a recliner, ceiling fan going, tower fan across the room going. Just waiting till it hits 82° before the AC kicks in. I can't tolerate it any hotter than that in the house.

I'm on all electric. I inherited this place. Definitely wasn't my idea of the perfect place to spend the rest of my life. And I would have made sure there was gas as well as electric.

I live in SDG&E land. I think they are the most expensive utility company on the planet. My neighbors regularly have $500 a month electric bills. I'm a tightwad, and I can't afford a $500 bill. My bill is normally around $70 a month. I think this month it will be closer to $200, if this keeps up. OUCH!

In 2000 we were asked here in Idaho to limit AC. The Enron guys were responsible for that one. brewens Aug 2020 #4
