26. Or go to bed early. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

This one should drive the enviros crazy. One more baby to help wreck the earth.

I have this ideation that when a large city turns everything off, when it’s turned on again, the sudden surge will blow all the generators and darkness will continue for days while they scamble to find that many new generators. One can hope this will happen.

One of our buildings at work uses so much electricity that the department has to let Austin utilities know when it goes back on line after it drops off. That happened about a year ago. One transformer at the substation just outside the fence had a hiccup and knocked it offline.

After it was repaired, they threw the switching device and blew the transformer and other switching components completely. That building and several others were dark for about three additional days.

Ignore Earth Hour. It is an advertisement for Algore’s Global Pyramid Scheme.

I’ve got mixed feelings about the story, but I’ll accept it as a cautionary tale. Thanks.

You know, it’s funny. All those family camping trips I plan and execute - they all think it is just recreation...;’}

I smoked two cigars out on the front deck then burned some cardboard boxes out in the back yard.

Keep them thinking that way. The story “Lights Out” is a good one, I think. I like it being pdf, that way you can download the whole thing.

Only an hour? What wimps! I turn most of mine off all night! And even during the daytime!

All 600 pages? That’s what I call speed reading!

Glad you enjoyed it. Send it on to others that you think ‘deserve’ a warning.
