Yeah, I do. I had to augment the central air with a couple of small windows units, though!! Some days were ~110° over the last 20 days and NONE under 100° :banghead:

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

How much are you paying?

My internet sucks, but at least it's only 90º here and my electric bill for the month was $35.

Same price as at my old place, $45/mo. except another $8 to "rent"  a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem vs the $30 DOCSIS 1.0 I had bought a while back. I MAY buy a new cable modem when I get some funds built up again. They're just over $100.

I won't tell you how much we are paying Comcast.  :mad: The only reason I'm doing it, is because it's less than we were paying DirecTV and AT&T for less stuff.

With cable, internet & cable modem, the bill is going to be just over a C Note every month. That said, those are my primary forms of entertainment at the moment.
