I bought the Smart Strips almost 2 years ago and love them! I bought a case of 12 from bitsltd.com and got really good pricing (around $18 each, I think). Then I used what I could and sold the rest to family/coworkers (at cost). Then I wrote a proposal for my employer start using them too. To date I think my employer has purchased about 40 of them

I just ordered (but haven't gotten yet) a "Roadrunner" showerhead. It uses 1.59gpm and the cool thing is that it shuts off the water once it's warmed up, once you are ready to hop in the shower you pull the release valve and your hot shower will begin. No more standing there waiting and constantly "checking" to see if it's hot.
Yesterday I bought a oscillating, pedestal fan to help keep cool during the heatwave. I have the A/C set around 80 and with the fan it's completely comfortable.
