So the storm that just snowed on Boston has arrived in Halifax as heavy rains and high winds -- the waves are sweeping right over the breakwater, and the spray is crashing 30-40' in the air at Tribune Head. Enough rain has come down that it's ponding in the backyard. It's a good day to stay in the basement, so I've been hacking around and putting up Christmas lights.
Flipping strings of illuminated lights in a dark room is like having fireflies on a leash.
