Light Show

[kevin_standlee]

There's a subdivision in Fernley where they go all-out with the Christmas lights. This evening after dinner, Lisa and I drove over there to do a slow drive through. Last year we stopped and walked through, but it's colder this year than when we last visited.

One nincompoop came up behind us with his high beam headlights on. I drove into a cul-de-sac to let him get past us. He also drove way too fast for the procession of other cars drifting through the area. What's the point? Why drive to see a light show, then drive too fast and turn your own lights up so high that you wash out everyone else's view? Anyway, once the inconsiderate boob moved on, we were able to slowly drive through and admire the pretty lights.

Lisa put up a modest string of lights on the front porch. We light the lights, but we aren't going to spend weeks installing and removing them as the folks over in that part of town must be doing.

It's entirely possible the inconsiderate boob was on his way home after work and was impatient with all the folks in front of him driving around the narrow roads of a residential subdivision very very slowly admiring the lights.

Nope. The subdivision is a dead end. He drove all the way in and all the way out on the same loop as everyone else, too fast and with his high beams on.

Besides, if he did live along that street, he'd be one of the people who put up all those lights (they're all overdecorated) and therefore ought to realize that he's put up something that will get people doing what the rest of us did.

" - a modest string of lights..."

You don't wanna be seen from space? What are you guys, Commie Atheists, or somethin'? :P
