After receiving an electric bill for $235 (partially making up for an under-estimated bill the month before) I read an article saying every degree below 78 uses 8 percent more energy. I turned the thermostat to 74.

We turn it off and open the windows if it is an unseasonably cold day.

I have violent grass pollen allergies in the early summer, so I can't open my windows in May or June.
