I'm not wasting anything. Mine and my families comfort is more important than a few bucks saved in cooling costs. I like it cool, so to me and my family the comfort it provides is worth it. I bet you set your heat higher than I do.

"A dollar saved is a dollar earned" Call it what you want to, but if my grandmama was your grandmama she would come up out of the grave and git'cha for running the air in Feb. instead of cracking a couple of windows.

About that heat. Just because you think I'm an old geezer I sit around the house freezing with the thermostat set on 82 degrees. We keep the thermostat set on around 68 during the day, and shut it off before we go to bed. How about yourself? Scout's honor now

I'm a little worried. It's counter-intuitive...but April is normally the driest month in the Raleigh area, and with the temps being above average in March we may get into early drought troubles this summer.

Oh yeh, and keep your windows closed for the next two weeks. Pine pollen season is in full effect!
