California could see blackouts without conservation

California could see blackouts without conservation - Yahoo! News (Reuters)

http://www.caiso.com/outlook/SystemStatus.html'>California ISO - the people who control our electricity - have announced a Stage 1 Alert (we are in the red zone on the CAL-ISO's Conserve-O-Meter). (This ISO link keeps timing out, BTW - probably too many people checking our power status.)

Today's yet another (excessively) SUNNY day in Southern California.

And, considering the above power alert, and, even more importantly, that my apartment is rapidly becoming too hot to be in, I'm about to be outta here. Barnes & Noble with its AC sounds appealing... (Hard to get my online business done - it's time for me to get AC in my Office, or at least a laptop.)

BTW, restaurants and movie theaters were packed this weekend. We were all seeking AC!

Strange weather here. At least it's supposed to be improving as the week goes on.

Ready for any possible black-outs (Batteries, flashlights, etc.) ?

Keep cool!
