I haven’t caught up on LJ, but this seems a good thing for the Californicators to see:
Pacific Gas & Electric Co., our utility provider, has informed us that Thursday, July 5, 2007 will be a Heat Alert Day. What this means is electricity and gas costs hourly will increase significantly between the times of 12:00pm and 6:00pm tomorrow. Please shutdown and turn off any unnecessary appliance or equipment during this time period. If you can reduce or shutdown the A/C unit, please do so.
So… what can you turn off? 
We are totally going to the movies. And then maybe out to have drinks. Then maybe back for another movie.
Oh! BTW, we’re home. I’ll tell you about wussing out later.
I guess this means don’t use the hitachi, eh?
welcome back.
as to “wussing out,” I say: you should get to spend your honeymoon any way you want. If that includes changing plans, so be it.
Shut down the AC unit?? I just turned my space heater on in my cubie.
I want to go to the movies and have a drink.
I promise I won’t wuss out!
I spent today at my parents house doing yardwork. Yay! Total household energy consumption ~0 Total water consumption ~ a gallon.
