4 to point out that Colorado light bulbs rated 75 watts are equivalent to California bulbs rated 60 watts.
2 to talk about the light bulbs of the rest of the world and how changing an American bulb isn't really changing a bulb at all
1 to talk about the 20 watt bulbs in New Hampshire and how much better they are than Colorado 75 watt bulbs citing the one time in 1934 that one gave off 2,000 lumens.

12 to point out that it is inherently dangerous to change light bulbs while wearing cotton - and that if you would consider changing a light bulb while wearing cotton, you have no business changing light bulbs in the first place!

"There have been joys too great to describe in words, and there have been griefs upon which I cannot dare to dwell; and with those in mind I say, Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end." - Edward Whymper

How about one who mentions he is a Doctor and that you should read his book about sleeping on the summits of 14ers, buy the calendar and put a bumper sticker with his name/face on your car?

No matter how many people are changing those 140-watt bulbs, only one to change a 130-watt bulb, as long as s/he brags afterwards about how much better the experience was.

Regardless of whether they work or not, lightbulbs shouldn't be left on mountains. I don't think people should even be leaving filiments laying about. Pack that stuff out!

You get so much more peace and solitude when you're changing the 130-watt bulbs.
