Regarding Christmas lights, my town, East Peoria, won the heavyweight division of the Great Christmas Light Fight on ABC. The display is about 3 miles from my house on a fairly busy main street and basically closes the road due to traffic jams for 2 months. I have to find an alternate route home but I can't complain because people really enjoy it and the city makes a ton of money.

Lol. You know how Simon Cowell fell off of an e-bike a little while back and "the dangers of e-bikes" articles started popping up? Yeah, they should have clarified things a bit. This was the model of "bike" that Cowell was thrown from -
It has a 15,000W (
) electric motor.

No black ice that I saw this morning. Nor was there any snow. Wore the wrong jacket and got way too hot.
Suppose to leave for work tomorrow, but for some odd reason all the flights are over sold out of Richmond, Newport News, and Norfolk. I’m wondering if Uncle sam is moving some soldiers around because the flights were over sold a week ago and it’s just that day.

Very cool. The folks that take it al up to that level are a different kind of crazy. I say that in the best way possible. I know back in the day, if you wanted the utility company to run moer powah to your house, they were happy to oblige. That Peoria one looks pretty commercial, but a lot of the individual homes have separate everything to feed their Addiction.
It makes national tv every year.

At least they finished that story arc. It stands on its own pretty well.
