Notes

Tuesday Night CCD Run ... THIS WEEK I remembered to make the RIGHT coming out of the Development to get the Holiday Light Tour of the adjacent neighborhoods. I'm glad I wore the Reflcto-Vest as I kinda forgot that there's about 600 yards of deep dark bridging the gap between ours and my destination. Even in the black, though, I could tell taht there was some Baking going on; I picked up a definite wiff of peanut butter & slightly burnt brown sugar. The first part of the first loop is all townhouses, so people are pretty conservative-slash-considerate with their displays; except for one pair who pooled resources and went for the Full "Price is Right" with synchronized strings surrounding doors, windows, garages and so on. However, I still hadn't seen anything like the "WalMart took a Dump on their yard" extravaganza D'Wife had observed last week. There was one house that flanked itself with inflatable Santa's [12' to Starboard and 16' to Port]; another that looped ONE 50-foot string of multi-colored rainbow lights down the middle of their one tree .... from 200 yards away, it looked like Gay Lightning [NTTAWWT]. Midway thru Mile Two, however, I saw it ... Actually, EVERYONE, could see it ... FROM SPACE!!! Words ... just can't ... pix, to come. After that [and once my retinas re-set] ... it was just another jog in the dark
