To stay comfortable and save money this summer, the U.S. Department of Energy recommends setting your thermostat to 78F (26C) when you are home. Setting your air conditioner to this level will allow you to stay cool and avoid an unusually high electricity bill.
that i found interesting. i have been so worried about my electrical bill and have been setting my ac to 68. i hope they are right.
still woke up very depressed but i think it is lifting. i am trying to read a book on ecology by timothy morton. he is an unusual writer.
