Re: Friday Funny - Christmas
Another Christmas lights story
A light unto Wallingford, or rather 14,200 of them
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/northwestlife/134372544_erik30.html
My favorite part of the article:
"Sharon shows me a letter she sent to the mayor, the city council and City
Light. She asked that homes with 10,000 or more outdoor lights be given a
discount on their electric bill. She kept waiting for a reply, but it never
came."

Dean, have the folks at Gulf Power considered building a back-up power
generation site next door? I hear diesel fuel is popular...
