Every afternoon, I have turned off my TV and surround system for 1 - 2 hrs and even unplugged my computer and modem during the 4 - 6 time slot. I was going to try to live normally this weekend but guess better not.

Cannot wait until I see the leaves beginning to fall!

My leaves are all ready falling off, from the heat.

They still want to conserve energy. They say go to the mall, movies or something. Well that would be nice, but you have to speand money there and heck with the electric bill's coming no one will have any money to spend. LOL
