I was originally going to talk about "heat" because I recently received the electric bill and this month's energy use almost doubled that of July 2020. I was not totally surprised because we have had a very HOT summer.
Nearly 150-patients at the AristaCare Health Care Facility in Manchester are evacuated Sunday morning after a transformer shorted causing smoke to consume the building.
There's something about traveling that makes people more aware of and appreciative of what they have at home. For example, spending two weeks in Italy during a record-breaking heat wave made me really appreciate our usual summer temperatures in the 80s and 90s...
Many Ocean County schools still don't have air conditioning. So should schools close early when the heat reaches dangerous levels or should kids (and teachers) stick it out?
Air conditioning is one of the best inventions ever. I think we all can agree on that. But it's also the cause of heated arguments and even divorces! Husbands and wives notoriously bicker over room temperature. But the issue doesn't just affect couples, as I was reminded over the weekend while road tripping with my sister...
I don't know about your house, but it was only about a week ago that my heat was kicking on in the morning. The last few days, it's been the air conditioning in the afternoon!
Staying indoors is a good way to beat the heat, but if you're blasting the air conditioning around the clock, you'll end up sweating over this month's electric bill.
It's no secret, we all know it's hot (in fact, if I see another picture of someone's dashboard thermometer on Facebook, I might scream), but how do you handle the heat?
