calling all CP hippies

[CaptainSeeSharp]

I turned on all of the burners of the electric stove, the oven, the dryer, all the lights, I lit a fire, and started the car.

For some reason, all of the lights in my house were just a little bit brighter between 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm last night :laugh:

My house is powered by solar and battery back-ups. So, there was no point.

A shame! You should have stayed back after lighting the fire. :)

We had a power cut. There were no lights. :)

Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

So, you didn't have much of an option, did you? :laugh:

No. The local power station was making their contribution to "Earth Day".

It might appear that our powergrids are obsessed with celebrating Earth Days? How about "Earth Month"? :)

Whazzat? If, according to the posts, it was between 20:30 and 21:30, then I was at a party with a bunch of hippies... Actually, today was the last day of the local Renaissance Festival and it was the cast party. Very similar to Burning Man anyway. You might find coverage of the fire we had this morning somewhere.

If it weren't for your gumboots, where would you be?

You would be in hospital or infirmary?

Me, actually. I turned off the 30W lights, left the 200W computer running (only to catch up with Elaine!) But that's ok, since I understand earth day not as an introduction to better darksitting, but a sign: we are willing to maybe consider some changes.

Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^]

We have multiple Earth Hour on a daily basis! :-D

[Stuart Jeffery]

Sure did! The light from my monitor whilst playing games was plenty enough to light the room... ...oh wait I think I missed the point of the exercise. Oh well!

[phannon86]

I tend to have one of those every night for about 7 hours when I go to sleep ;P But seriously, no. What a load of tripe.
