The old swap your burned out bulb and not get caught trick. But you didn’t want to do that with a bulb that would never get noticed or eventually you wouldn’t have a good “unnecessary ” one to borrow.

And lights with two bulbs were redundant. You didn’t have to replace one until both were bad. I still do that but it’s years between burn outs.

I have a compact fluorescent bulb that I’m saving for someone special. It has some fault that makes it turn off and back on at random times. By the time you find a spare it turns back on.

Why am I telling everyone about that? It’ll be my alibi if I get caught. I didn’t break in to steal anything, I was just leaving a light bulb.



Just kidding.

How evil do you have to be to fight against efforts to fight global warming? Especially ones like this that save people money. Revoking California’s waver allowing additional car regulations fits right in.
