I was driving home but I did turn the lights off.
Seriously we did it. I pretended be a monster in the dark but the kids weren’t scared. “You are not a monster, you are my daddy.”

We didn't turn the lights off, we practice minimum power consumption all the time. Still can't correlate this earth hour concept with the two or three weeks before Christmas, where many are encouraged to "LIGHT" up for Christmas. Could not possibly be any element of the 'warm, fuzzy' feeling in both exercises????? and drive around to look at the lights????

) but on my street we are all OFs, so will be in bed anyway by then.

Congratulations
The power of persuasion? or were you just being obstreperous?

...i actually laughed when i read that wongo
i was dissapointed when i asked the managers at work if we could turn the lights off in the kitchen for an hour and they said no because of OH&S issues...oh well, at least i could see where the grills and fryers were
