Earth Hour March 28th
Well, considering the little lady and I aren't exactly party animals anyways it was pretty easy to do.
We were having an after dinner game of cribbage over a glass of wine with her parents.
The only difference was instead of playing by electric light and listening to the stereo, we played by candle light and listened to nothing more than the dogs barking at something.
Best of luck.

I want to know what the rest of the people are doing with their electrical appliances?
I Googled something like "average household electrical consumption" and got several answers, all pretty much the same, that said the 'average' household uses 938 kw/h a month!
Good grief, my bills, averaged out on a yearly basis are more in the order of 85 kw/h a month, and that includes A/C, clothes dryer a pool pump and several permanently wired electric heaters!!!
So for the 'average' to work out there has to a bunch of folks arc welding on the dining room table 3 days a week or something!!
Best of luck.

Lack of coffee? Not wearing my glasses on a cloudy day? Senility?
I was misreading the wrong line of the bill.
It is 8.5kw/h per DAY average, ~260kw/h month. Oops.
The pool filter is one of those new high efficiency jobs on a cycling controller. It only runs an hour or so every 4 - 6 hours. The pool is also covered, so unless we're in it it's covered and not collecting any debris or dust.
The meter was changed in the early fall to one of those new "smart meters" that not only logs the usage, but whether it is during peak, or off peak times. It also has a radio transmitter in it so they can 'read the meter' as they drive down the street.
Best of luck.

Ok, somebody needs to let Jeffy know about this thread now....
I had what I can only describe as "multiplicitous seniors moments". 
I did have the numbers right, the second time, buuuuuttttt....
I get two bills from the same "big mother utility company", the one I was looking at was for my summer place..... (Where's the embarrassed smiley face?)
The house uses an average of 1,200 kw/h a month....
He he he, ooops. Mea Culpa.
The adult beverage of you choice is on me, but I don't deliver. 
Best of luck.
