Having issues browsing this thread on my blackberry. Locked? I didn’t do that I hope.
We shut down everything but the NAS, furnace, and other unpluggable appliances. Playing scrabble under candlelight is a little difficult and cats try to sniff candles… I counted 16 houses of 24 or so that I could see from the front window with their lights on. Grande prairie doesn’t seem to Go for this sort of thing. A city vs city contest is a good idea.
I didn’t shut down until 9. I was intending to shut down at the right time, but I was still getting my YOUNG kids to bed. Hard to do that by candle light! But I was shut down from 9 until midnight. (I fell asleep right away after I turned the lights out, and didn’t wake up until my husband came home from work and turned all the lights back on). The only other house I could notice with all the lights off in my immediate area was the house with the school aged kids.
