Earth Hour!

What happened to Earth Day? What happened to National Dark Sky Week? Hey! The carnival is back for its annual visit. That must mean National Dark Sky Week is upon me.

Jeez Louise! The routine described here at the Cow Barn is become ancient tome-like, yea verily. Now, if I want to know what was going on last year at this time, all I have to do is click on the equivalent month of last year, and presto, all that was is revealed anew.

But this is the first I ever heard of Earth Hour, so that’s a new one on me. Nobody in these parts appears to have celebrated Earth Hour previously, or this year either. The fact is, more lights probably got turned on during Earth Hour in these parts, than turned off.

Sadly, Earth Hour in these parts is probably symptomatic. That’s right. The whole planet that many call Earth is fixing to get more, not less, lit up. That’s right. If these parts are exemplary, more outdoor lights come on all the time.
