Thanksgiving last week included a trip to a historic mill where they current owners decorate the mill and area around it. They had a miniature Christmas village set up with animations and lights. A few workers were moving among the small buildings and I thought they should have been dressed as Godzilla.<\/p>\n
They also had a Santa Claus museum set up – and I gotta tell you, it creeped me out. The displays were in bad shape for the most part and the animated Santas were disturbing. Worst was a rubber Santa mask – being worn by another Santa. Serial killer much?<\/p>\n
The main attraction was the outdoor light show. The crowd was noisy, the flashbulbs from selfies blinding, and strollers wielded as bulky weapons.<\/p>\n
But, then the show started with a collective gasp and everyone was still as the lights and music began. There was another gasp as the show ended and the 3.7 million lights came on.<\/p>\n
It only lasted a moment and then it was back to “humans in a crowd” aka “jerks”, but for that moment…<\/p>\n
In other news…I’ve been doing a lot of folding this past week on a number of origami projects. One of these involves some very tiny modules and a very precise count. And one was missing. I may have miscounted – or a chops-licking Thunder(cat) may have been involved.<\/p>\n
Finally… I’m on day three of a headache. It’s not a migraine, but it’s annoying enough to notice pretty much all the time. I’ve taken some Advil which banishes it for a while, but I think I’m just tired and need a break. I did a lot driving for Thanksgiving and didn’t get a lot of rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
