Lights Out

A couple of days ago the town shut off all the street lights down the middle of our street. The two ends of the street are still lit, but the middle portion is not. I assume it's a cost-saving measure.

It's pretty dark out there. I have to wonder if this increases the chances that we'll be burgled (which isn't something I stay up nights worrying about, by the way).

There's a full moon tonight. It made a ghostly glow on the driveway when I took out the trash. Kind of pretty...it almost looked like snow on the ground. Normally the street light washes out the moonlight.

I wonder if the lights will ever go back on again?

Phone Invention

You know what I'd like? Some way to play a recorded announcement when I pick up the phone and it turns out to be yet another charity asking for donations. I'd press a button, and my recorded voice would say "I'm sorry, but we do not accept solicitations via phone. Please note that we are on the national 'Do Not Call' list. We must regretfully insist that you add us to your own 'Do Not Call' list as well. Thank you."
