We've always had a security light, i think it's halogen... On every night from sundown to sunup...

I run very few lights at night and all of them are CFL except the can lights in the living room and I rarely ever use those now that I'm the only one in the house.

Maybe my cat is having parties when I'm gone.

This is the 3rd school district that I know of that has taken this step. Van is about 40 miles from here. This is all good in theory, but what will happen when teacher goes nuts with their gun, or a crazy student takes the gun away from the teacher and goes on a rampage?

There is no perfect plan Jim but how many people that have there CCW have you heard about going on a shooting rampage? As far as a student knowing which teacher has a gun and taking it way is a failure of the person carrying the gun for either blabbing or poor carry practices.

We had a guy up the street do that about 10 years ago when he was putting Christmas lights up on his trees....he said his cord was to short to get to the house but it was just long enough to reach the neighbours outlet on their house....he was to cheap to go get a longer cord from the hardware store....

By the time everything was said and done with his lawyer happy neighbours it would've been a lot lot cheaper to go get that longer cord....he also doesn't put Christmas lights up anymore.....

I'm afraid you have given Dave an idea on how to lower his electric bill.
