The Lights are on and Nobody's Home

I am the dad that grumbles room to room switching off lights, exasperated with teenagers.

I'm not the only 'Seth' that wonders why hotels burn lights and heat or AC for hours on end in vacant rooms. I do appreciate that some let you put a flag on the bed IF you want them to change the sheets...

The off switch isn't that complicated. Can you imagine what the electric bill is for a hotel? Tom Bodette says he'll leave a light on for ya', but I wonder how many eco-conscious customers would appreciate him turning it off for them!

I also stayed in a nice resort recently (in the desert), with 2 showers, and was struck by how much water came out of the shower head.... It was like a fire hose. Nice shower, but I think I lowered a lake by 2 feet by the time I was done.

In modern terminology.... that's a big "footprint".
