Comments: The first run after a long run can be a struggle or a joy; this evening, despite a lack of adequate sleep on Sunday night, I found it the latter. Relatively smooth run, no pain (despite soreness all day in my left neck). I ran past lots of gimmicky lighting displays this evening: blinking "Santa Train"; blinking "North Pole" sign; a 20-foot tall inflatable snowman; an electronic music and light display playing barely passable holiday tunes; all nature of lit wire-frame yard animals; icicle lights, icicle lights, icicle lights (come on people); and so forth. I think I like the 20-foot snowman the best; it stands magnificently just behind the five permanently parked vehicles on the home's front lawn. No pretentiousness; just raw, unmatched power. Overall, I do see signs of localized "arms races". I run past another home with a Chevy Blazer, sporting two stickers: "Who Is John Galt?" and "I *heart* My Carbon Footprint". Their front yard matches their independence; they display the most lighting for blocks. One new smell this evening--the wonderful smell (to me) of fresh plywood, as I ran past a home near Wingate and Engle which the owner must have boarded up. Times are tough all around right now; though I poke fun at pretension, I applaud everyone who sincerely celebrates the season of lights. I enjoy running down the middle of empty, silent, suburban streets. It reminds me of urban camping, much like when I camped as a child near lakes in Wisconsin, walking at night on the pavement.
