There are holiday light displays, and then there are HOLIDAY LIGHT DISPLAYS! Impressive



Meh! I can cut my lights on and off very quickly while humming.

Seriously, someone is very talented and has a lot of time on their hands.
My only quibble is with the music. 'Amazing Grace' always reminds me of funerals.

My uncle was a Methodist preacher in Mississippi back during the 50s and 60s. He took some controversial stands 'back in the day', was tracked and spied on by the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, and received some death threats from the Klan. One of the pastors in his district once (mid 70s) reported to him that he had gotten a death threat from the Klan. My uncle responded that it was good to have a pasroe on his district with enough courage of his convictions that someone wanted to kill him for it.

Well, II went to a methodist college in Mississippi and I can testify that preachers kids don't often fall far from the tree. A good many of them, however, take a while to get down and do some serious investigation of the forest before they do ... and then there's Grace.

Grace was always out there, but now she has taken to sending me things like links to "Obamanation" and the like When she posted on FB a story about Cain leaving the presidential field, one of her buddy's commented "He was the only one who could beat Obama ...and Obama KNEW it!" I commented simply that "Cain was always delusional, as is anybody who supports any one of these Republican clowns." My comment was erased, leaving only the other.

Well, thats Amazing Grace for ya. I hide her threads from time to time just for a sanity break.

Could that be very pleasant to be trapped amidst all that flashing light? Seems migraine inducing to me...
