We've had a relatively mild summer and I couldn't be happier about it. I hate A/C and would rather sweat it out, but DH can only take so much, so the compromise is that we won't put in the window units until it becomes unbearable for him. This summer we've gotten through to August without ever putting them in (YAY! fingers crossed, knock on wood). I try to keep most of the lights and electronics off when we're not using them to keep the place cool, and we run the fan in the bedroom at night.

Years of avoiding A/C have conditioned me for riding in the heat, and since we've not had many days over 100 this year I can pretty much ride whenever I want. I'm more worried about how fast it will get cold here. Sometimes we get snow as early as October, and it can snow as late as May (this year it definitely did!), so I'll take the heat!
