   I've gotten a couple humorous question over the year:

How do you get the lights to change colors?
Do the leaping arches run underground?

	Typical questions I get are "How many extension cords did it take" and "where do you store all these lights". We weren't here at Christmas but the neighbor told me it was just crazy. He had never seen so many cars in one spot. He's thinking of installing a toll booth next year!!

	Traffic didn't surge as high on Christmas eve this year. With the weekend timing, it was more spread out and steady instead of all at once. We probably peaked at 11 at a time instead of 24 as we've done in the past. I did get the extension cord question... I just said "about a mile". I used to keep stats on cord length, but I didn't keep track with this year's reconfigure. Since I reused a lot of old wire in the process, I can't just add up the empty SPT spools. I'm already scheming for next year... trying to figure out a new mega tree design than can animate both left/right and up/down.
