5. I wish I could keep my house at 72.
I'd go broke. I keep my house at 79 and my bill was still $177.

21. I am in the single air-conditioned room - plus
you will not be jealous why i am in here: I studied from 8AM to 10 PM with two 30 minute breaks (bar exam next week)

We could never afford to cool the whole house, so we have window units in the bedroom and in the study. Plus it was a cool day here.

Where are you - is it really hot there, or is the 'letricco a real pain in the ass?

8. It was 101 here too!
We're in the San Gorgonio Pass (west of Palm Springs) and it's a hot MoFo here today. Even the air conditioning can't get it cool enough for comfort. I feel sorry for my poor chickens out there in the heat. They have some shade but still...

"works" if you live pretty close to the shore. We moved here to TX from San Dog where she was born and raised, and she's not forgiven me.

She's from P.B.

We plan to return but I want to be able to afford a house. :shrug:

Oh and it's 100ish here today with some humidity. Yay.

32. ha, 79% humidity is not that high, youknow. I am fromKentucky
where 79% humidity is a dry day.

I know it has really been hot up there this week, though. The summers I spent in Cambridge were among the pleasantest of my life.

22. it's 87 with cloud cover in Mendocino County
and last night was sooo cool that I needed my lightweight down comforter. No airconditioning, just fans. We didn't need to cover our bodies with wet cloths today at all. Look for a cool front in the next few days if this continues here.

34. Actual temperature is 94
Dewpoint is 82, so the heat index is about 110 here in Iowa.
Supposed to be about 100 tomorrow with tropical dewpoint levels again. There is a heat advisory issued.
It sucks. I'm only going outside long enough to water the tomato plants, then it's back to the wonderful air conditioning.
