Yesterday I got our August power bill and was stunned to see it was only $54.06. I showed the bill to the better-half and said, “I don’t think this is right. Turning the thermostat up a degree really shouldn’t save us over $100″. We went out and looked at the meter. We have one of those digital meters and couldn’t see if it was working–other than the fact no numbers flipped while we were looking at it. Time passed and I started the dryer. I asked the better-half what the last two digits were on the meter when we went out and looked earlier and they were 19. With the dryer spinning, the numbers were still 19.
The power company is coming tomorrow to fix our meter. I hope they let us slide with the $54 bill since we were being so honest about the meter dying.
