Hey, you must be a neighbor. Centralia resident here, and I keep my AC at around 68 around the clock. Sometimes I click it up to 72 or so and the boss complains. The power bill is just about a flat number no matter the month. My cat loves it, the dog does too if I take him to the river and throw a stick until he nearly dies.
We’re in Mason County, about halfway between Shelton and Allyn. In other words, out in the sticks.
