I didn't pay much attention to this heat wave until I got my electric bill. Wow! I have never seen an air conditioning bill that high! I have decided to use less air conditioning by turning up the thermostat a few degrees and getting out more to enjoy free air conditoning paid for by someone else.
My favorite place to enjoy free air conditoning is an indoor mall. I can window shop to my heart's content and pick out all the goodies I am going to buy with the money I save on air conditioning. As long as I can resist the food court it's free entertainment.
Public libraries are also a great place to hang out. I can find a nice comfortable chair and read celebrity magazines that I am too cheap to buy and stock up on my summer reading. Movie theaters, assuming I have a coupon or it's a cheap matinee, is another option. Meeting friends at a local yogurt places is another cheap and entertaining way to beat the heat while consuming fewe calories than a bucket of popcorn.
