    PIPELINE!

    I wonder what the musicians behind the boys were thinking...

    Did you notice who the musicians were? That was on the Laurence Welk show. You can say what you want about his music - but if you look at his reruns, he had quite a wide variety on his show, besides his lady singers were cute :rolleyes:

    that was my understanding too Rhino, but I have not looked into it tonight. Mine are electronic, and do not get anywhere near as warm as the old rheostat ones with the round knobs we used to see. But then Onegod told us to trust him, and I know him, so until I find info to the contrary I will do so, LOL.

    Let me back track - the electronic ones probably will save energy, but think about mr handyman - when he goes to home depot - chances are he comes out with the cheapest model, funny thing is - a quick look at the web shows that they all pretty much make the energy savings claim, guess everyone wants to be on the band wagon.

    "I prefer dimmer switches to reduce wattage used and thus energy savings. that allows me to control the light I need for the mood, circumstance and situation. I rarely turn them all the way up. "

    HAP - trust me dude - dimmer switches do not save on energy, turning off the &^%$&*^% light saves energy. They reduce the amount of energy to the bulb - yes - but the dimmer USES energy "restricting flow" to the bulb. Put your hand on the wall - feel the warmth by the dimmer - heat = energy.

    I'm liking what I see comming out in LED's these days - now those are really efficient - and they come in green if you want to be a true "greeny":)

    Just got to wait till the price comes down - in the mean time you & I ought to try to get a contract to change all those bulbs on the old gas & electric building downtown to LED's - then we can retire in style :)

    Timothy

    The Buoys

    (Rupert Holmes)

    Trapped in a mine that had caved in

    And everyone knows the only ones left

    Were Joe and me and Tim

    When they broke through to pull us free

    The only ones left to tell the tale

    Were Joe and me

    Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?

    Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

    Hungry as hell no food to eat

    And Joe said that he would sell his soul

    For just a piece of meat

    Water enough to drink for two

    And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig

    And then there's some for you."

    Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you

    Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

    I must have blacked out just around then

    'Cause the very next thing that I could see

    Was the light of the day again

    My stomach was full as it could be

    And nobody ever got around

    To finding Timothy

    Timothy...

    A tale of a fateful trip,

    That started from this tropic port,

    Aboard this tiny ship.
