No, it might be good enough, but I think you should do it. "Endangers the environment?" You're a danger to your self, young lady. I will hold the ladder for you. Go for it. Last night I took MJ to dinner in the City and we wound up following a giant (that would be 10 yard) humming concrete truck with 31,244 colored lights on it. A stupendous time was had by all. As a Representative of The Environment, I will forgive you this one. Go on. Go ahead. Shoo. It's exercise.

The endangerment to the environment is soooo tiny. Manufacturing costs? Energy consumption? The diff between a Buick and a sport-ute will pay for a century's worth of tiny colored lights. (uh, favoring the Buick I'm afraid. 'Xept maybe the Park Avenue Ultra.) They lift the spirit. I have a 100-foot string running along our front fascia and onto the open pitch of the roof. Just tonight the Helenator pointed and said a long sentence featuring "lights" and "Daddy". I saw a house near here that did a lovely thing with two of those strands - they outlined the front door and a window near it. That was all. The effect was very nice - more intimate and homey than the superhouses with plastic Santas and dozens of light strings bathing the front yard in iridescent jellyfish longitudinal strips. The deep-sea jellyfish with pinstripes of luminescent cells.
