A dear friend of mine posted the following on another forum and I'm posting it here to show my support for him. (BTW, his screen name is an acronym for There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch)

TANSTAAFL: Logged onto Google and they had turned off lights for earth day. Looks like the nutjobs wants us all to turn off all our lights tonight between 8-9 pm local time to celebrate the new religion of earth day. It is my intent to turn on every damned light we have at that time, to include all the outdoor security booger lights pointed skyward. If I had some old tires, I would burn and dance naked around them in true pagan style.




Go get 'em, ol' hoss!

laugh thumbs up

Yes, Don.... Paws had done a couple of threads about this and I couldn't remember what time, so I went to Google and they had switched the lights out. Fortunately, I was just in time so, of course, I observed the hour switch-off..... just gotta do a little bit, haven't ya??!!

Actually, it won't be long before I switch them off for the next 8 hours or so....

I wonder how many just didn't/won't bother..?? sigh

Good to see ya.... now that I can!! laugh

Hi Alison!wave

My response to this is much the same as my buddies' - He and I both already live "greener" than most so-called "conservationists" and what few lights I generally have burning at that hour will continue to illuminate my home. I spent two years without electricity at all, lighting with candle lanterns and I figure the couple of 60 watt bulbs I'll have burning during that hour has been more than offset by my previous lifestyle. grin
