Oh wow, That's way too hot. I feel like it's 87 in my house when I start drinking hot coffee, but it's usually 69-70 degrees.I just told my son "It's after 9:00p, time to turn the AC on." It's 87° in the house.
I love my basement and found if I don't have air conditioning, turning the thermostat fan to ON instead of AUTO, it will draw the cool air up from the basement.I have the AC set for 82°, and we tolerate that well enough. But from 4:00p to 9:00p is the most expensive time of the day for power. So we don't run the AC then. It was 100° today, but when I posted that it had cooled down to 87° outside, which even though it was the same inside as it was outside, the outside was much more comfortable because of a light wind. We went out to watch Bakersfield waste tax payer dollars on the 4th of July boom-boom. They were a long way off but we would see them from the parking lot of our apartment building.
Fireworks would be the first thing I would cut until a balanced budget was reached.I have the AC set for 82°, and we tolerate that well enough.

I believe that people who are in Congress (federal or state level) should not get paid without a balanced budget, since their paychecks are coming from a budget that has been voted on by both houses of Congress, and signed into law by the President or Governor. That would be good incentive to get the job done by the deadline.Fireworks would be the first thing I would cut until a balanced budget was reached.![]()
