What a day. It topped out at something like 81 degrees, which I think was a new record high for the state. That was unexpected.

It was a nice night for a run, and seeing as I'm currently between soccer seasons I was motivated enough to actually follow through on that instinct. And what the heck, maybe a scoot down to the grocery store, too. I know, it sounds like a lot of work, but the scenery makes it all worthwhile. What scenery you ask? Why, all those beautiful Christmas lights, of course!

Seriously, I'll give you through the New Year. I'll even tolerate a few stragglers until Valentine's Day (assuming there's snow on the ground). Then this year we got all that snow right around March 1st so I got out my scissors and started cutting some more slack. But come on. It's 81 degrees out, people. It's time to take them down.

(FD: I took these pictures - and more - over the course of probably 10 minutes zoooooming around on my scooter. There was basically one house on every block. And yes, I felt a little silly. And by silly, I mean creepy.)
