Earth hour

SO i had a busy sturday, lots of marshalling, great fun but hard riding, and it was hot. By the time i got home i was finished, went to lie down a bit.

Woke up at 20h30 sharp. I was muggy headed, and wifeys guests were leaving and so on, truth be told i never realised i had forgotten anything.

I wasn't going to "celebrate" anyway ... strikes me as another of those mass distraction exercises our leaders seem to enjoy so much. My take is if you want to make a change, ground all pvt jets, and switch off the US military. Simple. Share a ride to work, get a bike, switch off lights, walk to the shops ... damn so many BETTER ways to make a contribution.

To stumble around in the dark for an hour means fuckall, less than. Crikey we been doing that and calling it load shedding. Except that COSTS money. go figure.

I guess awareness plays a part, but a lie to justify another lie is silly.

Anyways, the point of this post was at 20h30, some kind of energy woke me up very sharply, literally like someone switched the lights on. I wonder how much damage was done by this event to the power grids.
