I was checking the Christmas lights tonight to see if anything was broken or burnt out, particularly the big bulbs. I was pleasantly surprised to see only three out.
See them? What caught my attention was their positioning, on either side of the flag, about where the flag would be snapping against the roof in really high winds. We’ve had a lot of really high winds. That flag being whipped out full and snapping against those lights…
(Annotated, to show the position of the three lights)
I blame the flag. Well, the flag and the wind. They’re in cahoots.
On the other hand, three bulbs at about fifty cents each is a small enough price to pay being as we’re 2/3 of the way through Christmas lights season.
Fingers crossed.
