Weblogs without pictures are boring. So here's a picture. I (and Scout) put up lights last night. They're the tiny LED kind, vintage last year from Pamida.
I bought a set of simulated-C9-size LED lights from Wal-Mart last month, but they're really lousy. I've never seen dimmer yellow LEDs. To my credit, I spent five minutes in the store looking for an outlet to use for testing, with no success. In the return pile (i.e. the back seat of my Neon) they go.
Heh, you can just make out my scary deer head inside the front porch. Came with the house. In fact, I'm almost sure it's as old as my house.
