I've noticed that Wal-Mart only has a few incandescent bulbs these days, and in weird wattage sizes. (not the common 60 and 75 watt bulbs)

So far, 36 4 packs, and, counting.

I think I go through about three four-packs of 60 watt bulbs a year. That many would last me 12 years.

Believe me, I'll be buying more. My goal is another 36 packages before we are sol.
That ought to last me the rest of my life.

Well, it won't if you live to be 100.

Hmmm, I always wondered what how they kept them from freezing...... I even asked a couple of Coke guys who didn't have a clue.

I don't have a problem with the CFL's and even use a few of them myself. But I do have a big problem with making incandescent bulbs unavailable. In a few years the big money will be smuggling R-12 and light bulbs over the border from Mexico.
