YOU ARE MISQUOTING ME AGAIN.  YOU YOU, CALIFORNIAN, YOU.

What I wrote was

My take on the matter is going from one child to two is going
from juggling 1 ball to juggling 2 balls.  From 2 -3 is going
from 2 to 3 balls.  The difference between 0 and 1 is gigantic.
Between 1 and 2 is not as much. Between 2 and 3 is big again

A careful reader would note that I only used the juggling metaphore when
discussing 1 to 2 vs 2 to 3.
Power prices are down.  You can afford to turn on a light so you can
actually _read_ your computer screen, Doug. :-)
