EMILY! We've been trying to find Christmas lights that don't sound maniacally psychotic for over a month here.

Typical past four market days:

"Do you have lights that don't play music?"

"Why yes, right here"

//cue seizure from blinking, colored, strobing lights

Great post. We hope you have a great Christmas in site. We're planning to stock up soon in Quiche, assuming the weather doesn't keep us off the road. Prensa says it will last until tomorrow, and this confirms it: http://www.wunderground.com/modelmaps/maps.asp?model=GFS&domain=CA (Jim might get a kick out of that modeler thing)

Oh, and as always, I am very jealous of your site. Ours seems to be more transient... everyone goes somewhere else for Christmas, and the pueblo is slowly emptying out. Very weird feeling.

Take care and stay warm! Miss you two
