it may have been downed powerlines caused by the Santa Ana winds...which then started the fires

the funny thing is that we (tumbles, dubK, my sister, her girlfriend and I) were on the roof downtown waiting to see all the lights get turned off for the 'turn the lights off' thing...of course there werent any lights being turned off...not even the fucking DWP building turned their lights off for an hour

i just find it ironic that while the announcment for 'Lights Out LA' occured at the DWP, they didnt do anything to support the event

drums please, Fab?

are there LED bulbs that screw into a good old-fashioned incandescent?

because i do worry about mercury in my cfl's - i dispose of them properly (smash 'em up then bury in my backyard) but i doubt most people do

(google is probably my friend ..)

$64.99/bulb

FRAC - they do make ultra low Hg CFL's - Philips is one manufacturer. And of course you can always recycle them and leave the backyard for burying pets.

It won't be long before dead pets are considered toxic waste and you'll get slapped with huge fines for burying them in your yard.

Free Ramos and Compean -- so, what's the payback on a $65 light bulb?

Oct 23, 07 1:48 pm  ·

drums please, Fab?

i don't know - i'm not buying one at that price

i bought some cfl's recently and didn't realize the color temp was 6500k - they're blue! (why do they even make those?)
