It is so hot today. It was 102 degrees at noon. Jake (the dog) and I are hiding out under the air conditioning. We need to be here. It’s not good for either of us to be too hot.
In remembrance of cool wet days long gone
Our solar power is in full gear racing the electric meter backwards. We haven’t lost our fascination with watching the meter run backwards. We are always running out to check. In our experience, we’ve only seen it happen since we put in solar – and we have a lot of years behind us.
One of my readers said “Thank you.” Thank you for putting power back into the grid for others to use. I hadn’t thought about it that way. My kids, of course, are asking me to send some to their homes – or to send them a chit for the extra electricity.
Now wouldn’t that be a neat idea? If the gas and electric company noted how much electricity we sent to the grid and gave us a chit we could give to someone else so they could get credit on their bill? That would really be neat! Our kids, our friends, our favorite charities. Think of the pleasure of handing someone a chit good for air conditioning all summer. I would really enjoy that.
But no, the electricity just slips anonymously into the grid, running my meter backwards annonymously. Maybe in some better day.
