If you live in California (escalating rates based on monthly usage), you 
probably want to turn everything off when you leave the shack to save on 
your electricity bill. My differential rate is in the range of $0.35 per 
kWh, and even being frugal, I'm always subject to that rate. Back in 
Chicago, where I was paying in the range of $0.13 in the summer and a 
few pennies less in the winter, I left everything on all the time. :)
