Screwed on the curly light bulbs.

We got a bunch of "free" ones from Duke. They take forever to warm up and brighten, and out of two dozen we're down to a handful. I'm selectively replacing some bulbs with LEDs soon. prices are starting to come down some.

I bought some LEDs at Ikea. They were about $4. I really like the light they produce. They've made a lot of strides. My bulbs have a nice soft yellow glow instead of that horrible bluish color.

 

You can buy discounted LEDs from Duke Energy's online store. They're as low as $3/bulb last I checked.

You have to read the package with CFLs. There are the regular bulbs, which take a bit to warm up, and there are the "instant-on" bulbs which immediately light up.

 

I bought a supply of them before I retired from Lowe's in late 2011 (employee discount), and I still have a couple dozen. Maybe by the time I have to replace them the LED bulbs will be just as cheap.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
