I just arrived home from my latest foray to Dollar Tree ... no extension cords ...
But they were pretty surprised when I bought 16 night lights (I'm going to use them for testing midi-tree sequences).
What was I going to use 16 night lights for, asked the clerk.
My Christmas lights show, I allowed.
Oh, getting started early, she said.
No, I said. I'm late. I am so damn late.

PS: Wife said the other night, "I don't suppose we could take a vacation in the last week of October, could we?" Only if you want to go alone, I said. "Christmas lights?" she said with scorn. Of course.
