[Rhythm]

11. Yeah, we saw that this morning...

we don't use the lights in the house all that much anyway (1, maybe 2 rooms at a time), but we made sure that the house was pretty much blacked-out (except for the PC in use) for most of the morning.

13. Did you know that the Sierra Club named Duke one of the nation's Greenest Universities?

I'll be up pulling for Wellstone's alma mater tonight.

Maybe I should do the Earth a favor by filling a cooler with beer so I don't have open the refrigerator door so often.

26. I can't get the Simpsons' episode when Lisa tried to teach people about light pollution

so I'll put the Youtube link to "Vincent"(Starry, Starry Night) which was played at the end.

I love this song, and Lisa's idea that we should be able to see many more stars at night.
