Got this in an email, so I am passing it along.

Read the story before looking at the picture!!

Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year
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.

Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking him down but my neighbor did confirm to near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made him too real this time

So it was fun while it lasted!

Scroll down to see the picture.

LMHO!!! That's a good one!


If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.

Laura, you should add some lights to your setup this year ...preferably orange. wink

Those 'spensive LED lights run on a tiny amount of juice, so you could hook up a little inverter in your car to get a pic like that.

...And build a snowman wearing a moosie hat.

Moose,

Hunter Orange! Naw, scratch that.

Go green -- think solar or wind -- to generate your LED lights should you decide to do so.


Journey well...

No disrespect intended, but when I see you in that pose with the plaid shirt all I can think about is Michael Palin doing his "I'm a Lumberjack & I'm OK" skit ...

"With a sleigh and reindeer on the roof!"

Steve, I have to be careful adding the above-mentioned accessories. Someone may sleighjack and one of my relatives might want to shoot the reindeer! whistle

Laura my dear, just a hint. Get yourself one of those cheap

kids plastic toboggans with a pull rope on the end. Put your

tree on the toboggan and it will easily slide on snow, dirt,

pavement etc. $4 for a permit? Wow I'm moving out to your

forest service as it has been $10 here in Colorado for years.

Happy Holidays to you and your family. CMC

I was thinking the same thing! Then I realized it wouldn't be Moosie if she did it the easy way, huh?

Yeah, you see, I already tried that... (2007)


Great, in theory. In practice, I would need an open sleigh.

Hey Laura, 2007 that was a real dinky sled but you get bonus points for it being Orange. My plastic toboggan, a light orange, is 5 1/2 feet long and easily handles a large 8 foot tree that is full branched. My Grandkids use it tobogganing down the slopes and we have used it probably 20 some years for the annual Tree Cutting Expedition.
