I'm no scientist, but I'm not sure how much impact we can have on global warming. There were tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, heat waves, cold waves, ice ages, etc. long before we used fossil fuels. I'm all for better use of our resources, and we should be more responsible and enironmentally conscious, but I am not convinced it will do much to solve El Niño, or prevent another big weather disaster.

Also, since you mentioned Katrina...

Having lived through several-day power outage following hurricanes in Louisiana, I think it'd be a lot more bearable to have no power in Hawai'i than along the Gulf Coast this time of year!

One thing I remember after hurricanes is just how *still* the air is for a few days. Couple that with 95 degree temperatures and many square miles of evaporating water, and it feels like a 24/7 hot bathroom after a shower. And, if you're lucky, it gets down to 88 at night (and no fans).

I agree about the calming effect of silence, but I'd rather go camping in the mountains. ;^)

No argument with you at all Dwayne, on how lucky we are to be in Hawaii! Our power outage was nothing but a very small, very minor inconvenience.

I stumbled across your blog while I was doing some online research. I'd personally prefer that the power company NOT reintroduce rolling blackouts! Not when that means I can't be on my PC!

Aloha Bill (aka panasianbiz? I clicked into your site to get your name), thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment.

I hear you; when the power first went out I was very thankful for my laptop's battery pack so I could save the work I had in progress!
