Vampires descend on City Hall

Photo

Jane Ratchye (far right), Debbie Lloyd (right), Karla Dailey (fourth from left), Lindsay Joye (third from left) and fellow employees from the City of Palo Alto Utilities Department do the "Thriller" dance in vampire costumes outside City Hall Wednesday, Oct. 31.

The department was illustrating how electric power is still used by appliances even in the off mode -- also known as "vampire loads" -- and can consume a large amount of electricity.
