Interestingly, none of our neighbors seemed to be aware of Human Achievement Hour or the WWF-sponsored Earth Hour, nor did any businesses or homes in nearby neighborhoods appear to participate in either event. Next year we'll have to work harder and earlier to get folks involved in Human Achievement Hour.

Human Achievement is a wonderful thing...

In addition, outside I had all my cars running including my motor coach and its generator and of course all its lights too. My yard gave off one massive heat signature, it was glorious!

However to be fair the only house on the block with all their lights off was the neighbor across the street ... but he's up at A-Basin and wasn't planing on coming home until tomorrow evening. Otherwise it wasn't any more lights than normal. I was disappointed that the tree hugger Obamites that live next door to me didn't seem to know it was Earth Hour. So I don't know how many folk noticed. I cranked on all my lights.
