Midwest or Desert

If it wasn't for grass and trees I would wonder where I was. The extreme heat has been more that a lot of people can take. The grass and trees produce the humidity that puts some people over the wall. Staying in the house with centeral A.C. is the best way to fight it. The power company loves it because they raise the electric rates and your bill goes sky high. My bill went from $85 to $135 this month that's an extra $50 for electric service. With severe COPD I need the cooler air just to survive but Social Security didn't give us seniors a cost of living raise to help us. BUT, the government employees all got 2.5% increase, GO FIGURE. Who needs it the most? The people trying to live on little of nothing or the congressional people with the $150'000 yearly income. Well you can't do anything about it so may as well gripe.
