I said I was going to try an LED lamp in our track-lighting fixture. Unfortunately, it didn’t work, and I suspect it’s because the track lighting is on a dimmer switch. Just as compact fluorescents must be designed to handle dimming, I think LED lights must, too. But perhaps I’m wrong. I’ve asked the place I bought it from and will correct this if I am.

Completely unrelated, I think I can say I’ve found my favorite scotch: Teacher’s Highland Cream. I’m not a scotch whisky connoisseur by any definition, but I like scotch, and I like this one, so… (And since economics is a factor, it helps that it’s not too expensive.)

Finally, in other news, labor and environmentalists are teaming up, an encouraging development that should have happened in the 1970s. In this case, however, I think it’s safe to say “better late than never.”
