They've turned out the lights - for Earth Hour - a conserving energy awareness

I thought it was my browser since I started my old one by mistake, then found the same with Firefox. Then I found the link to Earth Hour.

I saw it last night and thought that I had broke my computer.

We are gearing up to turn everything off at 8:00 and play boardgames by candlelight.

I saw all of the countries and companys that joined in. CNN wanted to figure out the energy saved. They haven't reported it yet.

It's a great idea and I hope it expands. But any number CNN reports will be a blind guess. There is no way to gather enough data to make it reasonable.

It would be interesting if the energy companies would release grid usage during those times, but don't hold your breath for that one.

"Paint It Black"

I thought you were talking about the Stones classic rock tune that was big with the elders in my family because it was actually derived from an old Turkish folk song.

I am seeing JAC's "Idol" next month at the Honda Center. Jordin is the opening act for Alicia Keys. I'm not a fan of JS's but I do plan to check out the Jim Beam bar at the Center during Spark's performance.
