Xmas light's and my wife are going to send me over the edge

[Delphinus]

OMG man.

This year I have a few strings of LED's up. Both me and my wife have just been run so ragged the last 2 months we were happy we got any up at all.

It is nice to see them up though.

I have these colour changing LED strings on the back fence which if I watch them as I'm moving I can see they are physically changing from blue to red to make that purple. As soon as I stop and look at them while still then the colours blend back to purple. Do other people notice this too? I guess it must be happening at 60Hz so must blink 30 times blue and 30 times red in the space of one second so I think that's kinda neat to be able to see that.

1400 lights. Ahhhh yikes. Well, look on the bright side: at least it's not -40 or something..
