Earth Day, turn those amps OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Earth Day, turn those amps OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've said it before, I'll say it again, it is Environmentally IRRESPONSIBLE to leave your equipment on for long periods of time, before or after, or truly despicable, ON all the time!

On, 20 mins, listen, done, off!

Doctors, Lawyers, Trust Fund Kiddos, come on now.

Where were you in 1970?, I was there in Manhattan (went to college at Pratt in Brooklyn 1966-1970)

"Yabba Dabba "D".  You heard it here first."

I often think what I want on the backside of my gravestone, probably 'He Tried"

You might get senile, put your headstone order in now.

I’ve lived all over the east coast, born a Yankee in Auburn, NY, then Fl, NC, McLean Virginia near DC (your Pam was born in VA), VT, Brooklyn, NJ

I still miss Southern Girls. We had an Art History teacher at Pratt (most were men), she was very tempting, thanks for reminding me, but so was my girlfriend/wife Nancy.

I leave my electric toothbrush, hairdryer and toaster oven on 24/7.  I want ALL my devices to be ready at a moment's notice and operating at peak performance.

I catch my wife, now and then, shutting down the toaster oven.  Mentions "safety concerns". Go figure.  Maybe it's time to upgrade her and the toaster oven?

Also, even when listening to mono, I turn on all the "toys" and consume massive amounts of energy from all 9-channels for a glorius, engulfing surround sound experience (with 4 active subs).  Listen in thet dark?  Heck no.  Got a full array of commercial grade 600w metal halide lamps in the ceiling to create the atmosphere of a sunny day on the bench in my listening room.  To save energy, I only use a bank of electric space heaters on cloudy days.

Pam was my singing teacher. I went for a lesson on the day after she died not knowing what had happened. I was ringing her bell and calling her name outside her condo when a neighbor came out to tell me what happened. I nearly fainted. A great tragedy.

i graduated from Amherst about a decade ahead of pam and you and Hampshire College’s existence.

  • stop eating beef and meat in general
  • stop driving trucks and SUVs
  • stop using the AC all the time
  • stop wasting water
  • stop buying new and "Fiji water" when used and local will do
  • ...etc.

Otherwise you are a big problem
