Christmas Decorations Gone Wrong

This is one of those things I got in an email from a cousin, of a friend of my brother's friend from his last job. For the personal touch of realism 'Greg' sends along this little note, explaining his seasonal hijinks:

"Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard."

I'll leave it to you to assign voracity, but I thought it was funny enough either way.

Holiday Dispatch: Remote Blogging from King of Prussia

So I'm writing this post on my G1 from a comfy couch in the ladies section at Neimam Marcus, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Already some good sights to report from the holidays:
-my special lady looking ravishing in a red ball gown
-wintry mix making the trees groan under the weight of the ice.
-delicious meals at B&B Las Vegas and Pearl Philadelphia; both sadly and undeservedly uncrowded restaurants (hope the industry makes it through a tough time.)
-the electric light Manorah-adorned cars in the Philly Hanukkah car parade.
-williams-sonoma candy cane white chocolate chips.
-snow, snow, snow in the Rockies and Sierra Nevada
