Sometimes Green Living Bites

This morning as I stood on the stoop to watch my son get on his bus, I noticed that I was wearing two different colored socks, one blue and one black. The energy-saving bulbs in my house provide a ghastly light that does not enable me to distinguish the difference between the two. I need sunlight or real light bulbs in order to see colors properly. Remember Elaine from Seinfeld who stocked up on the sponge birth control when it went off the market? I am going to have to do the same with incandescent bulbs or I may just have to give up ever matching socks again.
