Holiday Lights

The following was forwarded to me via e-mail and deserves to be shared:

“Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of the many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.”

For all of those who have been staring at the monumental pimple that unexpectedly appeared over the weekend, I've taken a picture (it lasts longer) and now you can stare at it without being so bashful about studying it.

Puggy

Puggy is a great UK rock band that I hope I can experience live someday. "Dubois" is an excellent album that I spent much of 2008 listening to. I'm very much looking forward to their next album. Until then, more Beatles covers.
