Earth Hour In The 'Burbs

I will admit to a certain amount of disappointment...

Although the pub I hang out in was burning candles. Mind you, its always lit somewhat murkily, because the owner doesn't want you to get a close look at his food when the lights are on and you're sober.

And our building super, while legally required to keep incandescents going in the common areas, did turn the thermostat down to zero. Generally speaking, if you can survive a night in our hallways around this time of year you're ready for the arctic.

Then Don't Participate, Rex

As for myself, the wife and hope to be out having a nice walk between 8 and 9 pm, see if we can spot any stars through the smog.

Not that such events make alot of difference in and of themselves. They do however indicate the possibility of collective action, freely taken. A good signal to our political leaders, if any of them are listening.
