Lights

KFAM 052355Z AUTO 07006KT 10SM CLR 08/01

In the late `90s, I lived near and flew out of KCGF. One of the neat things about night-flying in December there was the Christmas lights. There were some homes that had so many lights that they were visible from miles away. One house in particular, maybe down around Solon, OH, had so many lit decorations that the wheel on their electric meter had to have been spinning like a pinwheel in a hurricane.

Around here and tonight, not so much. There were a few houses that had lights along their rooflines and some lit-up kitsch in the yards, but they were few and far between. Unless I was looking carefully, the lights on the ground didn't look any differently than they did three weeks ago.
