Not cooler

The power bill from PG&E has arrived and it’s lower than last month’s. A good thing. But why? Part of the answer has to be the practice of using the fans early in the morning to suck out the hot air and pull in the cool. And a new thermostat that allows us to manage the temperature easily. But… this morning the heat has returned. Summer isn’t over.

On the light side of the morning…. I found this site for photographers to enjoy. Flick’r Toys. I need to explore it some more.

And on the dark and heavy side, I see that the legislators in California are still having a tantrum about the budget. It looks so classy when adults do that. But what I found odd was the notion that somehow, the public wasn’t interested in the impasse and that was a bad thing. Since the budget war is an annual event with grand posturing and silly rhetoric; why would we care? Lawmakers live in their own universe. When they decide to come back to earth, we might care.
