I am not mr green. I do not give a flying rats ass about the Environment except as it refers to conservation. Conservationism, and not Environmentalism, is where sanity lies.

but I loves me some LED lights.

They have been cheap- and yes, I get that they’re cheap because of subsidies, but I’ll take cheap, most ways it comes to me- but most of all they’re durable.

I cannot use those corkscrew fluorescents, because my household voltage fluctuates far too much. they either die premature deaths or catch fire, fuckem. LED’s, on the other hand, are capable of withstanding large variations in voltage, and their power supplies are internally regulated. For the very first time in the16 years I have lived in this house, I put four bulbs in outdoor fixtures and they lasted all winter. the LED lamp I put in my nightstand last week is dimmable, and never gets hot to the touch. THIS is something I can count as serious progress.

That hit home and made a good deal of sense.

“I don’t believe in miracles. I depend on them”. I like that, I like it a lot. I have co-opted it. I have had a couple, personally, over the last several years. I stand in awe and wonder each time one occurs. I hear whispering of more coming my way.
