 The temperature in West Point, Mississippi, has been close to 100 degrees this past week, and the humidity has been just as high. I'm telling you, it's been awful. It's just been hot, and I'm just trying to make it through and try to pay the light bill, because it's been several times I've been on the verge of getting turned off. 72-year-old Georgia Raleigh's electric bill runs about $200 a month. That's a stretch on top of her $600 rent.
